You may know of it by its other title, "The Nigger of the Narcissus."

Nazis, Jesus, or any variation on the phrase "How the ______ are ruining America" sell pretty damn well. I'm looking forward to getting to yours, though I think I'll have to order it to get my hands on it. <BR/><BR/>You should have seen the dirty looks I got when I was reading The Turner Diaries.

A cover including all three of these sales magnets would sadly be somewhat contrived. Harris turns out entertaining commercial stuff and what is interesting about 'Fatherland' is that it is a dystopia set in the past if that makes sense. I think the actual expression is 'alternative timeline'. Be careful when you work your way round to my little novel - it has a dirty great swastika on the cover too!white rabbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15693920049571164318noreply@blogger.com
