'A Death in Brazil' Peter Robb , 2004 single work correspondence
— Appears in: The Times Literary Supplement , 10 September no. 5293 2004; Robb replies to Conti's claims that he 'covertly copied nineteen passages' from Conti's Noticias do Planalto. Robb concludes: 'No book springs fully armed from the head of its author. Everyone builds on the work of predecessors, and Conti too used material from previously published accounts in his book. But since he feels his own substantial work has had insufficient direct recognition in A Death in Brazil, I'd like to thank him now.'
'A Death in Brazil' and Its Sources Mario Sergio Conti , 2004 single work correspondence
— Appears in: The Times Literary Supplement , 3 September no. 5292 2004; Conti details his meeting with Peter Robb in Brazil in 2001. Conti claims to have provided Robb with valuable source information and further claims that nineteen passages in Robb's book, A Death in Brazil, 'were startlingly similar to passages in Conti's Noticias do Planalto'. Conti says 'what we are dealing with here is not simply use of information, as is normal in intellectual work. The fact is that entire sentences, lines of reasoning and images recur with only a few words changed.'
