Only in the literary world. This past week in the literary world we lost some, we lost some more, and we just…kept…on…losing. First up was the death of Thelma Keane, the inspiration for the Mommy character in the long-running “Family Circus” comic created by her husband, Bil Keane, has died. The latest James Bond novel, The Devil May Care, was recently released to the world in the form of 21 languages and “a blaze of publicity not seen since the last Harry Potter book.” (CNN’s words, not mine.) And, brace yourself, titillating publishing news forthcoming: Madonna’s brother, Christopher Ciccone, is writing a memoir about his sister, to be released in mid-July by an imprint of Simon & Schuster.
Cough. Cough. Cough.
So anybody have any REAL literary news I want to hear?
No. I didn’t think so. I’m off to Atlantic City to go find some “news” of my own to mentally purge the past few weeks’ stimulating headlines from my mind. Happy weekend writing.
