With all that's going on in the world - Iran, their elections and the aftermath (which was blown off the airwaves with ridiculous ease by the deaths of Farrah and Michael), the continued puffing of the chest of North Korea, events in China we rarely hear about, and some would argue in our own backyards as well, it amazes me that a very well reviewed title that takes a fictional look at just what might go on behind the scenes in these cases, that is, Steven Gillis' Temporary People, has not taken off yet.
I've noted it before here, Steve is my partner at Dzanc, easily one of my best friends, and the book was published by Black Lawrence Press, an imprint of Dzanc. Of course I'm touting it. I tout all of Dzanc's books both here and elsewhere. The thing with Temporary People is I'm constantly reminded of it every time I watch national or international news reports, or The Daily Show, or The Colbert Report.
I'm here to offer the first five individuals that would like a copy, and intend to write a review or a blog post about it. Those five need to a) enter a comment below, and b) shoot me an email at wickettd@yahoo.com. These books are not simply coming from the Dzanc stockpile either. I will be officially ordering them from our website, paying via Paypal.
I'd write a review.

I'd write one - probably for Ink19.

And we're good on this as one person simply emailed.
Thanks, folks, copies will go out in Saturday's mail if you just shoot me an address (if you haven't already).
