Embargo Shmembargo
Anyone known to review novels (even, I suspect, the third-string reviewer on the Methodist Recorder) will receive unsolicited pre-publication copies of what their publisher fondly expects will be ‘the next big fiction event’. With the freebie will also come a threat. This book is strictly embargoed, the recipient will be informed. Write anything about it, or mention it in any broadcast, and we will sue. If you dream about this book, wake up and consult your lawyer. You are not holding a book in your hand, you are holding a literary grenade.
