MARK SANDERSON at large in a world of books.
The real reason for Saddam Hussein's failure to comply with UN
resolutions on the eve of the invasion of Iraq can now be revealed:
he was distracted by literature. The dictator is a seasoned novelist
and the ink on his latest work, Get Out, You Damned One, was
apparently still wet when the first American missiles began to fall
on Baghdad in 2003.
The book, an allegorical saga about a Zionist-Christian plot to
destroy Arabs and Muslims, has been banned in Jordan, bootleg copies,
however, are selling fast in the back streets of Amman. The deposed
dictator's other three novels, Zabiba and the King, Walled Fortress
and Men and the City are still in print and selling well -- but not
as well as Get Out, You Damned One.
It is not clear whether Saddam employed the services of a
ghostwriter but, with so much time (as well as blood) on his hands at
the moment, he must surely be contemplating writing a prison diary all
by himself.
-------------------------
Two years ago most of us had not even heard of Dan Brown but now the
multi-million-selling author is to be the subject of someone else's
book. Lisa Rogak will apparently reveal "little known details of
Brown's unusual work habits" in The Man Behind The Da Vinci Code.
The American biography will chart the thriller writer's leap from
obscurity to reclusive celebrity and, perhaps more controversially,
explore "why, in the face of a public lawsuit for plagiarism, Brown
has refused to sign an affidavit emphatically affirming he is the
sole author of The Da Vinci Code." Is there any occult significance
in the fact that the word "conspiracy" contains the word "piracy"?
Probably not.
-------------------------
Lord Weidenfeld celebrated 60 years in publishing this week at the
National Portrait Gallery in London. The unstoppable octogenarian,
fresh off a plane from Rome, was in fine form as friends, authors and
ambassadors gathered to toast with champagne his many successes.
Was there, I asked, one particular book he was proud to have
published? "I can't think of just one book," he told me. "However,
among those I have published with much pleasure and pride are The
Double Helix by J.D. Watson, Nabokov's collected works, Memory and
Identity by the late Pope, biographies by Antonia Fraser and her
mother, the late Elizabeth Longford, and Isaiah Berlin's The Hedgehog
And The Fox."
Alas, there is one book we would all like him to publish but which
he never will - his contacts book.
