Barry Rampant

Barry Trotter and the Shameless Parody is getting reviewed like crazy in Britain and, from what my editor says, reviews are good. He may simply be protecting my oh-so-fragile ego, wise man. I wilt so easily.



From The Morning Star, the UK's only national daily socialist paper: "Gerber has succeeded in creating a marginally grotesque, bouncing beauty of a throwaway tome.  Down with Potter! Trotter is the real thing - and is guaranteed to wind up sycophantic followers of the Potter sect everywhere." Fight the power, buy Barry Trotter.



Another paper--serving London's equivalent of the Upper East Side--says Barry is "A big improvement on the woeful Bored of the Rings." Sorry Henry (and Doug, wherever you are). Still, I hope I do as well thirty years on.



Marxists and capitalists coming together to read silly books, it's beautiful. So we're going to a third printing. Not bad for one week on sale!
