- To say it was a surprise when Rupert Murdoch joined Twitter would be an understatement. This meant that the world of 140 characters barely flinched when the only American novelist Cormac McCarthy appeared to join the microblogging revolution. Unfortunately no, I am informed. After three days and 33 tweets, @ CormacCMcCarthy the account was exposed as a fraud - but not before it fooled fellow novelist Margaret Atwood and Chairman Jack Dorsey Twitter. Those who were deceived will not be reassured to know that the famous McCarthy ruled write stories, because "everything that does not need years of his life and lead to suicide does not seem worth doing."
