To be an author in the third millennium is to be a shameless self-promoter, a crass hawker of wares; consequently, I have selfliness* to promote and wares to hawk. So let me humbly remind you that Deliver Us from Me-Ville makes a fine, inexpensive Christmas gift!
Nothing says "Merry Christmas!" quite like a book in a decorative stocking, if I do say so myself; I have a Batman(tm) Christmas stocking hung on my office bulletin board with care, and the copy of Deliver Us from Me-Ville sticking out of it really adds to the ambiance. After all, nothing keeps Christ in Christmas quite like a book which presumes that all of society--including the people on your gift list--is hopelessly narcissistic.
To those of you who are even now muttering, "Put a sock in it, Dave!" I respond in true humility: put it in your sock.**
Happy holidays,
Dave Zimmerman,
author, Deliver Us from Me-Ville
*A word coined by a kid in my church. I like it; it's clever.
**The one hung by your chimney with care.
