Publisher Cancels Reissue of Racy Novel by Lynne Cheney
by Hillel Italie

NEW YORK (AP) - A publisher has canceled plans to reissue a racy novel by Lynne Cheney, wife of Vice President Dick Cheney, after she said the book did not represent "her best work."

"We felt interest was growing because it was an election year and we decided it could be a timely book," Liz Perl, executive director of publicity at New American Library, told The Associated Press on Friday.

But according to Cheney's attorney, Robert Barnett, she did not even know about the reissue plans until receiving calls last week from the media. Barnett then contacted the publisher, which agreed this week to pull the novel.

"I told them that she did not think the book was her best work," said Barnett, who represents numerous political leaders, including former President Clinton and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton

excerpt:
"Let us go away together, away from the anger and imperatives of men. There will be only the two of us, and we shall linger through long afternoons of sweet retirement. In the evenings I shall read to you while you work your cross-stitch in the firelight. And then we shall go to bed, our bed, my dearest girl."
New American Library, an imprint of Penguin Group (USA), was going to reprint "Sisters," a historical romance published in 1981 that includes brothels, attempted rapes and a lesbian love affair.

:eyes:

cuz of this administration? Can anyone here imagine lieing and looking stupid in front of the world for anyone? Much less an idiot?

the messages are SUBLIMINABLE!

It would be an embarassment to them in an election year, just like Franken did with O'Reilly's book.

LMAO!!!

this book my fit well on your reading list:

thanks!

...got around. Let's all take a moment to peer into the mind of a woman who denies her daughters orientation, yet writes these rather odd fantasies and is married to a guy with an oil pump where his heart should be...

Seems like her funky little "history book" was worthy of BookNotes multihour interview.. :eyes:

Maybe the lesbians in the book were not patriotic enough :)
