Thanks friends, instead of having endorsements from hotshots we opted for “Joe from Chicago” style blurbs –real not fake readers. GQ is the philosopher John Gray.
I HATE this NYT Bestseller thingy. But non negociable with publisher. Publishers put quotes by hotshots on back of books. I hate it. Told them I would get GENUINE quotes from REAL users e.g. “Joe from Denver”. Collecting quotes from readers (and re-readers) of Incerto & drafts of SITG. Please add to this thread.
The skin in the game (symmetry) Q is: Would you like your daughter to appear in Playboy? If so, then do the interview. Otherwise, shut up Playboy. I can proudly say that the Playboy Interview is the first interview I ever declined, when I was invited in 2008. Was told it was the most impactful & most read interview on the planet. Many “serious” authors did it: Nabokov, Mailer, Moravia, Rand… An “interview” in Playboy is the equivalent of putting a prayer room in the middle of a bordello, w/the excuse that it attracts worshippers
My idea of writing essays is to make sure the reader has ABSOLUTELY no idea what will be discussed on the next page. Otherwise textbookish.
Aphorisms are strengthened by exceptions. But I wouldn’t know: I don’t read my books.
No, I don’t. I don’t usually have “new” “cool” ideas.
