‘Does it really matter who wrote it?’: the rise of ghostwritten celebrity fiction

Book reader community.
It makes celebrities seem even more disconnected and artificial than they already do, and it makes me bitter that they're using their name recognition to enrich themselves at the expense of genuine authors themselves, including the ghostwriters. I so badly wish we lived in an actual meritocracy, where being already rich or famous basically guarantees the ability to get even moreso.
