THE DISAPPEARANCE OF SHERE HITE. This review of a new documentary concludes: “It’s a shame the doc hedges towards hagiography in the last act, with almost no space given over to an assessment of what might have been problematic about her research — questions that could be raised without diluting the significance of the work overall.” That seems a bit coy.

I thought I remembered a piece in The New Republic that raised questions about the genuineness of her research, and even of her research assistant, but searching the site brought up nothing. Anyone else remember that?

UPDATE: I think this is what I remembered, although I thought there was a research assistant involved but it’s been a while: Hite Made Up Person She Claimed Worked for Her. Thanks to Steven Fletcher in the comments.
