THOMAS, D. M. — Lady with a Laptop

New York, Carroll & Graf. 1997, First Pbk.Ed.. (ISBN: 078670425X) Soft cover. Book, "Simon is invited to the Greek Isle of Skagathos to teach overly enthusiastic would-be writers who have as much chance of actually publishing a book as Simon has of winning a Booker Prize. The summer colony, of which the writers are a part, has taken the tenets of the New Age to heart, whether in pursuit of the ever-elusive orgasm or of finding the magic key that will unlock their inner creativity. And Simon, as polite as he is randy, cannot quite bring himself to explain to his students that there is no necessary connection between the price of one's computer and the quality of one's writing" Something of a send-up of the writer's school on Skyros.189p. Neat crisp copy but for remainder mark. Fine.
