IN THE PRESS
As a standard response to the numerous requests which she received to favorably review books by fellow authors, Margaret Atwood once composed a poem which concluded thus:
So I wish you good luck, and your author and book,
Which I hope to read later, with glee*.
Long may you publish and search out the blurbs,
Though you will not get any from me.
glee = die Fröhlichkeit
