I'll make certain to mention the reissues in <i>Canadian Notes & Queries</i>.Brian Busbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04120341319506205062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747768554703669866.post-64525930594855122052021-02-05T03:09:08.876-05:002021-02-05T03:09:08.876-05:00Brash Books (http://www.brash-books.com) is republ...Brash Books (http://www.brash-books.com) is republishing this book, and the entire Tom Ardies/Jack Trolley backlist this year.

My favourite part of Michelle Wolf's 2018 monologue at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner was this:<br /><br />"People call Trump names all the time, and look, I could call Trump a racist, or a misogynist, or xenophobic, or unstable, or incompetent, or impotent, but he’s heard all of those and he doesn’t care. So tonight, I’m going to try to make fun of the president in a new way, in a way I think will really get him.<br /><br />Mr. President, I don’t think you’re very rich. I think you might be rich in Idaho but in New York you’re doing fine. Trump is the only person that still watches Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? and thinks, 'Me!'"Brian Busbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04120341319506205062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747768554703669866.post-30367734075688319982020-09-05T09:23:04.789-04:002020-09-05T09:23:04.789-04:00Ha!

I missed the other cover, but the M&S one is pretty brilliant.<br /><br />But I figure the reason a certain other Russian operative doesn't want us to see his tax returns is because he's not really but rich, but two steps ahead of broke.reesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15818057262934008241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747768554703669866.post-64141716754578710412020-09-02T20:28:50.123-04:002020-09-02T20:28:50.123-04:00Karel, you were quick off the mark.

I have things to say about that ugly jacket illustration, but I'll leave that for next post.<br /><br />Not to spoil anything, but I agree that the M&S cover is better.Brian Busbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04120341319506205062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747768554703669866.post-79093938735102498902020-09-01T18:23:47.070-04:002020-09-01T18:23:47.070-04:00I kind of like this version of the book cover more...I kind of like this version of the book cover more than the one at your review at CNQ. Looking at it made me hope it was an amazingly prescient oracular roman a clef fitting the current Putin Puppet in the White House.Karel Machahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00753758856975674463noreply@blogger.com
