Brian Sorgatz is a freelance writer from Sacramento. Since he maintains a website called Reflections on Playboy (because, he says, he “flatters myself to think that Kendra Wilkinson might call this blog intellectual pimping”), his work is well-known in these precincts–Brian pays my colleagues and me the tremendous compliment of paying close attention to what we do (maybe even closer attention to what we do than we do.) Anyway, in fulfillment of his quest to examine all things Playboy, he read The Coup–and liked it. “A hell of a ride!” he says in a review he’s posted on his website. “Malanowski’s prose has an agreeable trait in common with that of Stephen King: the vivid characters appear against the technicolor backdrop of American mass culture. With both authors, the effect is the literary equivalent of the best experience you could ever hope to have with 3-D glasses.” Stephen King, eh? There’s a compliment that will keep us warm this winter. Thanks, Brian!
