Flap Copy: Post-9/11 Novels: Adding The Zero
http://flapcopy.blogspot.com/2009/09/post-911-novels-adding-zero.html
Friday, September 11, 2009. Post-9/11 Novels: Adding The Zero. There's been lots of discussion today about post-9/11 novels - which of them are good, which are bad, and which are timeless. In that final, transcendent category of literature built to last, Ian McEwan's superb Saturday. And Joseph O'Neill's lyrical Netherland. Seem to be the clear leaders, while the rest remain a mixed bag of hotly debated also-rans: Don DeLillo's Falling Man. Jay McInerney's The Good Life. And Benjamin Kunkel's Indecision.

Flap Copy: Flap Copy Interview: Christian Lander
http://flapcopy.blogspot.com/2009/02/flap-copy-interview-christian-lander.html
Tuesday, February 10, 2009. Flap Copy Interview: Christian Lander. Last Tuesday, we hosted a booksigning for Christian Lander, author of the blog and subsequent book Stuff White People Like. How would you define white people as they’re described in your book? What are common misconceptions people read into the blog or book? But doesn’t the book also say that this group wants diversity, but only as long as they don’t have to step outside of their comfort zone? Yes, that's the hypocritical part that comes ...

Flap Copy: Geriatric Sexcapades
http://flapcopy.blogspot.com/2009/04/geriatric-sexcapades.html
Wednesday, April 8, 2009. But for now, Tempe is practically oozing vitality and romance – I catch teenagers necking in my neighborhood, customers are holding hands in the store, and I keep reading novels filled with geriatric sexcapades. Nothing screams Spring like elder-love. Aren’t those nice messages? So if you find yourself lovelorn this Spring, I recommend checking out one of the following titles:. Sima’s Undergarments for Women. Valeria’s Last Stand, by Marc Fitten. Simas Undergarments for Women.

Flap Copy: Three Booksellers' Inauguration Adventure
http://flapcopy.blogspot.com/2009/02/three-booksellers-inauguration.html
Thursday, February 5, 2009. Three Booksellers' Inauguration Adventure. When Barack Obama was elected President, I was sitting at a party with a circle of friends, sobbing at the television. I had no words to describe what I was thinking at the time. As a person who rarely shuts up, it was unusual to find myself so inarticulate. All I could think, as I watched the poll numbers roll in, was that Americans had done something right. It just meant so much. 8220;You girls going to the inauguration tomorrow?
