The Ivy League Imposter

Add Maclean's(opens in a new tab)

I listened to an interesting interview on WNYC today. David Samuels went on-air to promote his new book The Runner: A True Account of the Amazing Lies and Fantastical Adventures of the Ivy League Impostor James Hogue.

Hogue managed to enrol in Princeton University using a fake alias. The Wikipedia entry on him is an interesting read on its own.

Samuel’s on-air interview can be heard here: http://www.wnyc.org/shows/lopate/episodes/2008/04/28/segments/97535
