    Twitter Alert!

    Whoever's posting at www.twitter.com/markdanielewski is not in fact Mark Danielewski. Everything from April 24th on is a fraud. We're currently working on shutting down the page. In the meantime, and on behalf of unwary innocents, if any of you are on twitter please feel free to tweet something exposing this impersonator.

    As a general rule — whether on myspace, facebook, twitter, [future sites to come]. . . etc. etc. — we will always list authorized sites here.

    At present there are no authorized sites anywhere else.

    There is only here.

    Many thanks.

    (Clarification: MZD used Twitter between April 13 - 23 and then closed the account.)

    ...

    So, the posts from April 13th on were a fraud according to this new fraud?

    Uh-huh...


    Someone hacked his account, basically?

    How did this person get the "markdanielewski" username?

    Usernames are unavailable even after the account is deleted.

    "He" seems to have deleted all of his updates "again."
    signatures are dumb

    Yeah. I called him out... guess I was right.

    Not to mention he's breaking Twitter's TOS... using MZD's picture and website as his own - definite impersonation.

    Update

    As of today www.twitter.com/markdanielewski is officially MZD's site. However, it's very unlikely he will be posting anytime soon . . .

    Thank Christ. We don't want him twittering or whatever the hell it's called. We want him writing his next book.

    The first quote is up now, with a hash tag of #HoL. I wonder if this is a viral attempt brought on from that love quote that got retweeted over and over and over last week...

    Second one is up now. Might be an every Thursday sort of thing.

    "And where there is no Echo there is no description of space or love. There is only silence." #HoL

    "Because I’m burning. Because I am too soon. Because without her I am only revolutions of ruin." #OR
    Hailey is Sam's echo. Without her he is in perpetual ruin. Without her echo there is no love, no space where he can thrive. Only the silence of solitude. Sam is Hailey's echo.
