This is reminiscent of the famous Naked Came the Stranger hoax of the 1960s.

(This humble Freeper was not in on the hoax but sure wishes he had been)

I've read the PDF. It is fall-out-of-your-chair funny if you're a connoisseur of bad cliches and worse writing.

Maybe they would be interested in John Kerry's memoirs.

Seems like L. Ron Hubbard and the church (little c) of Scientology began under similar circumstances.

Click on my name if you want some suggestions for great science fiction.

In this age of rapid technological change well written science fiction (and there is _plenty_ of it if you know where to look) stretches the mind, thrills the senses, and yes, can pull on the heartstrings as well.

These self-appointed literary experts do indeed have their heads fully stuck up their...(well, you know...).

I hope you and your readers will be as interested and perhaps amused by Alan Sokal's essay, 'Transgressing the Boundaries: Towards a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity' published in Social Text in the mid-Nineties and that very much engendered a literary genre epitomized by Gross and Levitt's 'Higher Superstition' and 'Flight from Science and Reason'.

There are portions of nonsensical text in the manuscript that were caught by our editing staff as they previewed the text for editing time assessment pending your acceptance of our offer.

Anybody care to try diagramming that sentence?

Small stuff. The real trick is to get a non=existant book recognised as a lauded best seller.

Then you can write it I, Libertine
