I've just finished reading the article and while I am surprised about how long it was, I am not so surprised about how crazy it all is. Truth is stranger than fiction as the saying goes. If anything I would have been surprised had people not seen through Mallory's Act at all but people did and either couldn't do anything about it, didn't care to, or did remove themselves from things surrounding Dan. In the case of Sophie Hannah, one of the writers Mallory worked with, she seemed to know what was going on to the extent that she modeled more than one of her characters after Mallory, his manipulation and lies. After the reading the article, I kind of wish I wasn't, but I am now curious to read "The Woman in the Window" if only to find out how much of it is Mallorys own life or if it is just riding on the coattails of "The Girl on the train" or mirroring The Talented Mr. Ripley? I am also quite curious how much influence or say Dan Mallory had on this article. It is certainly good press for him, announcing his next endeavor at the end- the summery of which seems to also mirror but not quite mirror Mallory's life, maybe for his next publicity stunt he'll go back on the bipolar diagnosis and just come out as a sociopath, psychopath- whatever the correct term is for someone who enjoys lying and manipulating others as that I've there's one thing I've got from this article, that's what Dan Mallory is.
