Etcetera and Otherwise wins book trailer award
The novel Etcetera and Otherwise, written by Sean Stanley and published by Tightrope Books, won Best Foreign Book Trailer at last week’s Moby Awards for book trailers, held in New York and hosted by Melville House and MobyLives blog owner Dennis Loy Johnson.
The novel tells the story of bookstore owner Otherwise, who embarks on an erotic road trip with love interest Etcetera. The New York Time’s books blog Paper Cuts describes it as:
A violently comic assault on Canadian literary lions done in a style that brings Margaret Atwood into a kind of north-of-the-border “South Park.” (Blame Canada indeed!)
That trailer also includes a line that itself deserves an award for Best Blurb: “This book decapitated Michael Ondaatje!”
Other book trailer award categories included Trailer Least Likely to Sell the Book, won by Sounds of Murder by Patricia Rockwell; Most Annoying Performance by an Author, won by Jonathan Safran Foer for Eating Animals; and Most Annoying Music, won by children’s book, New Year’s At the Pier by April Halprin Waylan.
