He was manufactured by the publisher and essentially bumped up to succeed, and I think the same thing happened with the Da Vinci Code. They are only half-ass complaining though, Chris, and I think you know why it is the same reason that the black bookstores (like the ones here in the Bay Area and in SoCal like Eso Wan) complain about thug books but keep them on stock.

Where else...Dude, the movie Cold Mountain was good! Where else can you see a fat naked sloppy Phillip Seymour Hoffman having sex with a fat naked sloppy hillbilly girl? Nicole Kidman gets felt up by Jude Law on camera? Renee Zellweger supposedly playing a mulatto farm girl? Come on man, that's art! I am sure a lot of readers bought the book after the movie. <BR/><BR/>Seriously, however, Charles Frazier is overrated and I do understand how he's become a humunculus of the publishing industry. Any time I want to see rednecks acting out Homer's Odyssey, I'll rent "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou." Your Princeton cohorts the Cohen Brothers did it better!<BR/><BR/>Carry on my wayward son! Tell me more about the new Iron Man movie or the Sub Mariner and stop these booktalks. Who do think you are, a writer!?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
