Praise for The Poet's Funeral..."Nonstop wisecracks and an amiable tweaking of the publishing world add up to a highly entertaining debut." -Kirkus Reviews Everything goes wrong at the 1990 convention of the American Booksellers Association. Julia Child's cooking demonstration in the Random House aisle catches fire. A top New York editor catches a pie in the face. Invitations to the most exclusive publisher's party are stolen, and all the wrong people show up. Worse, Heidi Yamada, the world-famous poet, is found dead, spread over the late Elvis Presley's king-sized bed. Rich with poetry, publishing, book collecting, literary gossip, and a cast ranging from small-time players to the famous Rock Bottom Remainders, The Poet's Funeral is a story of ego, love, art, and murder.John M.
