Harvey Aronson Harvey Aronson (born May 1929) is an American journalist and journalism teacher, and a former "Newsday" editor who also wrote or co-wrote several books. He was part of a group of "Newsday" reporters involved in writing the bestselling hoax novel "Naked Came the Stranger", initially credited to fictional author Penelope Ashe, and published as a parody of commercialized book publishing in general and of novels in the genre of Jacqueline Susann's "Valley of the Dolls" in particular. Aronson co-edited the project with his colleague, Mike McGrady, who had conceived the idea, and Aronson also wrote a chapter of the book about a character described in a later news article as "Melvin Corby, a meek real-estate lawyer, unsatisfied in his marriage yet incapable of adultery, the only character in the book thus afflicted." In a "Life" magazine article written after the ruse was revealed, Aronson commented that he thought the book had ended up being more comedic than pornographic, and he opined that Susann "writes about sex as if she were a virgin".
