toxic pariah

Apropos of Nothing followup:
Woody Allen memoir published in US after protest stops first attempt

In a postscript to the Arcade edition, Allen alleges that Hachette had vowed to publish Apropos of Nothing despite his “being a toxic pariah and menace to society”. But, he writes, “When actual flak did arrive they thoughtfully reassessed their position” and “dumped the book like it was a hunk of Xenon 135.” The Guardian has contacted Hachette for a response.

Arcade editor Jeannette Seaver said in a statement: “In this strange time, when truth is too often dismissed as ‘fake news,’ we as publishers prefer to give voice to a respected artist, rather than bow to those determined to silence him.”

Temporarily out of stock, сказано на amazon, тираж - 75К. посмотрим, что будет завтра. думаю, скандал @Hachette послужил этой книге хорошей рекламой. интересно, не попытается ли Ronan Farrow и его компания #metoo пиздюшек устроить бойкот amazon. от души желаю им успеха, у меня еще до хера попкорна. хотя до самого Вуди мне дела нет.
