Another literary unmasking at the New York Times?

That breathless headline was very fun to write, and may just be true! Here’s why: my brother at FishbowlLA noticed something odd in yesterday’s Thursday Styles section: a certain article about multi-bladed razors was written by a writer named “Nick Burns.” This “Nick Burns” has only one other byline in the NYT…also about shaving. Nicks? Burns? If his middle name is “Bloody Kleenex Sticking To Your Chin” we’re definitely on to something.

We’ve sent the query into the NYT, so we’ll let you know as soon as we know.
