David George Plotkin AKA "David George Kin" (April, 1899 – March 30, 1968)[1] was an American poet, cartoonist, novelist, and ghostwriter who was reputed author of My Sister and I (memoir attributed to the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche) and author of The Plot Against America: Senator Wheeler and the Forces Behind Him.
A contemporary review remarked that "the poems are sometimes crude and immature; over-sentimental and yet callous," but also "redolent with the spicy garlic smells of Brownsville and the Bronx.
[4] Roth published Rage in Singapore as a work of non-fiction, and claimed that Plotkin "was at Penang with his wife when the Japs captured the island.
The Princeton philosopher Walter Kauffmann dismissed My Sister and I as a forgery, but some scholars still uphold its authenticity.
[6] Plotkin is also the likely author of My Life and Loves in Greenwich Village (1954), which was attributed to the bohemian writer Maxwell Bodenheim and published by Samuel Roth.
