Kick him when he’s down, Conrad Black edition
In case you missed it, The Globe and Mail, amid its post-sentencing Conrad Black coverage, took a look at the American reception for future inmate 0783124’s Richard Nixon bio – turns out there isn’t much of a reception. The Globe’s James Adams seems to take a certain glee in the story at hand: “A Life in Full has not been entirely neglected. The New Yorker accords it a review in its Dec. 10 issue, but only as a ‘Briefly Noted’ and a critical one at that.” And later: “Far more sympathetic (but almost as brief) is a pre-publication review found in the Sept. 24 Publishers Weekly.”
Quillblog’s favourite thing about the story is the headline: “Tome gets few U.S. reviews.” Stop the presses!
