I think I know why Grisham continues to be a best-selling author, and it has almost nothing to do with the glowing reviews he can get from the New York Times.

The ezine Slate has done a great job detailing why this scandal matters. While it resembles the early-90s check-bouncing scandal in the U.S. in how widespread it has touched the legislative branch, what is particularly damaging is …
