YM Exclusive: Postcard from Alex Pareene's Sorry Ma
I'm still perplexed (MAYBE EVEN BITTER) over why Doree rejected this wonderfully subject'ed email from my mom:
Date: Thu, 03 Apr 2008 16:51:50 -0400in response to this post but hey, I'm not the one with a book deal. Gawker "Day Editor" Alex Pareene though was nice enough to share one his mom sent today. (Jake is Alex's 13 year old brother.)
From: "Mom"
Subject: Prison rape
To: "Andrew"
God, How proud can a mother be! My heart is filled with joy.
I just ran to the bookstore over lunch to get Jake a book to read - he has to READ EVERY DAY for school. The book I picked up for him (King Dork) has a few choice quotes from various reviews:Previously: Team Party Trashed: King Dork
"King Dork: Best Punk Rock Book ever." - Village Voice
and
"The Myspace generation's Catcher in the Rye." - Gawker.com
GAWKER.COM!!
Praise from People, meanwhile, is relegated to the inside cover.
I have to admit, the fact that they put a Gawker quote on the back almost made me think twice about buying it. Aside from the whole "who does the book review anyway" question, I would like to know also - why the h*ll did a Gawker staffer care so much about a book for young teens? Shouldn't you guys be reading loftier books? Like the inside scoop on TomKat's marriage or that Obama book?
