Re: JCO: RE: Missing Mom

Hi Randy---and thanks for giving us the address for the interview----I hadn't realized JCO's mother had died so recently, and was interested to hear her say that she loved and admired her mother without any ambivalence---I feel the same way about MY elderly mother, and it was refreshing to hear that JCO felt the same way.

 

Perhaps Cyrano is the only one who has read the book, and I misunderstood the responses...I am ordering the book anyway, though.

 

Best,

Christa

Re: JCO: RE: Missing Mom

Actually, as far as I know, all of the messages regarding MISSING MOM were discussing the information in the interview with JCO that I mentioned earlier. Personally, I haven't seen the book.

Cyrano, I forget that there are professional book reviewers here----I of course understand Randy's close relationship, both personal and professional with JCO, but feel most of the rest of us are not at that level....

 

At any rate, for those of us who have to get the book the regular way, perhaps some of the rest of you who are discussing it could put the "Spoiler" note in your topic-----that's very helpful so the groundlings don't get the ending revealed before we've had a chance to read it

Hi, Christa. Review copies go out to newspapers, magazines, etc as much as 6
months ahead of time. Some of us do book reviewing professionally.
