The Anonymous Lawyer Goes Pro Bloggo Publico
A recent Harvard law graduate, first-time author and cause c'l'bre Jeremy Blachman is riding high, but not, as one might expect, as a highly sought U.S. Supreme Court clerk or caffeine-addled associate at a premiere New York law firm. Blachman eschewed the law in favor of a purely creative pursuit: writing an anonymous blog (eponymously known as the 'Anonymous Lawyer' at www.anonymouslawyer.blogspot.com) detailing the fictionalized travails of a narcissistic partner in a big firm who makes The Devil Wears Prada boss Miranda Priestly look like Mr. Bean. Following a feature article in The New York Times, Blachman's notoriety skyrocketed. Apropos of his blogging cynosure, Blachman participated in the following colloquy with IL&S Editor-in-Chief, Sam Fineman, strictly through e-mail so as not to curtail billable possibilities. Blachman reflects on his book, his life and blogdom.
