Peerless fashion publicist Geoffrey Saunders not only gave me the beautiful pink Massimo Bizzocchi tie that I wore at my Playboy party in July (see earlier posts), but he voluntarily and without prodding posted a review of The Coup on the Barnes & Noble website, bn.com. Calling it `DC Backstabbing at its Best’, Geoffrey calls the book `an enjoyable read. Sex, corruption, illegal deals with China, treason– what more could you ask for?” Just so, Geoffrey–what more could a reader ask for? Wizards? Stuff about global warming? Willfully obtuse comedy from Stephen Colbert? Well, sorry. We’ll just stick to our sex-corruption-treason formula, thank you very much.
