There were fewer than half a million Jews in the Warsaw ghetto. There are a million and a half Palestinians in the Gaza ghetto. Jews in the Warsaw ghetto resisted the Nazi occupation with whatever crude weapons they had. A few Germans were killed or wounded but it wasn't a fair fight. Palestinians are resisting the Israeli occupation. A few Jews have been killed or wounded but it's not a fair fight. Here are some excerpts from Chapter Forty-two of Oprah's Dead Son:


"...Things didn't work out for The Third Reich and handy-dandy, Jews got to be God's chosen people again. Jews got given the State of Israel because of all the wrong that got done to them by Hitler and the Nazis, the same way Hitler and the Nazis got given Germany on account of all the wrong that got done to Germans after the First World War. Jews can do no wrong on account of all the wrong that got done to them. The State of Israel can get away with murder the same way Nazis got away with murder. Turnabout is fair play. To the victors go the spoils. Might makes right. Because of the Holocaust, Israel doesn't have to abide by international law, the same way Hitler didn't have to abide by international law after the Treaty of Versailles. The Israeli Defense Force can attack and occupy any territory it wants to attack and occupy. UN resolutions have no effect on the State of Israel. Israel can kill and maim and kidnap anyone it wants to kill and maim and kidnap. Tens of thousands of Palestinians have been routinely tortured in Israeli jails for decades but let one lonely nineteen-year-old Jewish soldier take a wrong turn in Gaza and all holy hell breaks loose—and that's just for starters..."

"...Who's more likely to nuke its neighbors? Iran? A country with no nuclear weapons who's a party in good standing to a global nonproliferation treaty? Or Israel? A country with close to four hundred nuclear warheads mounted on cruise missiles in submarines that can be launched in a matter of minutes against any other country in the world, a country with a paranoid-schizophrenic penchant for unprovoked attacks on other sovereign nations, a country that's not only not a party to a nonproliferation treaty but doesn't admit it has any nuclear weapons, period? What kind of big fat lie is that..."

"...Jews are a hundred times more likely to be billionaires than anyone else 'cause everyone else in the world is terrified of Jews. The last thing you ever want to do is piss off a Jew. Why? Whoa, let me count the ways. First, Jews are in charge of propaganda for the multinational Nazi conglomerates that have all the money in the world, second, the State of Israel has more nuclear weapons than China, India, Pakistan and the UK put together and third, the United States will protect and defend Israel at all costs against all enemies forever because no politician can get elected in America without the support of Jews and guys who kiss up to Jews in the media and entertainment monopoly. If you piss off a Jew nobody will ever hear a word you have to say—you'll be blackballed, blacklisted, despised, rejected, demonized, ignored, intimidated—and if you piss of Israel you'll get nuked. It's a stacked deck..."

"...A handful of Holocaust survivors and their offspring, with the all-pervasive media and entertainment monopoly on their side, are holding the whole world hostage. What should we be more worried about, Israeli cruise missiles armed with nuclear warheads being launched against the United States or Iran maybe enriching enough uranium to blow some Ayatollah's nose someday? The morons in media and entertainment will tell you it's the Ayatollah's nose we have to worry about. How absurd is that? You tell me. Those are the kinds of questions you can ask 'til the cows come home and not only will you never get an answer but nobody will ever even get to hear the question. Hitler and The Holocaust created a monster that's gonna give birth to a monster a thousand times worse than Hitler and the Holocaust ever were..."

"...Israel's nuclear arsenal has been around since 1968. Every little community of ten thousand people in the State of Israel has its own personal nuclear weapon. There are sixty-five million people in Iran and the whole country doesn't have any nuclear weapons at all. Israel has unilaterally bombed other countries. Iran hasn't. Those are facts. One out of every four hundred people in the world is Jewish and one out of every three billionaires is a Jew. True or false? True..."

"...The land of the free and the home of the brave has been ceded to a handful of Jews and guys who kiss up to Jews in media and entertainment who gear everything that gets into anyone's brain toward two overriding objectives, making money for corporate Nazis and protecting and defending the State of Israel to the last breath of life on earth—whatever it takes, however many trillions of dollars, however much innocent blood, there's nothing more important than making money and keeping Israel safe..."

"...There wasn't much Israel and the United States liked better than Iran and Iraq killing and maiming each other to the tune of however many million people it was during the Iran-Iraq war. The more Muslims that kill each other, the fewer Muslims we're going to have to kill in order for Israel to be secure and live in peace. As long there are any self-respecting Muslims left in the Middle East, Israel's never gonna be secure. Nobody in Israel even wants to live in peace. What would there be to kvetch about? It's hard to play the hapless victim when you're pound-for-pound the most powerful nation on the planet. We've hitched our star to a tribe of crazy people.."

"...The global Nazi oligarchy's gonna come out smelling like a rose no matter who wins or loses in the Middle East or anywhere else. Jews and guys who kiss up to Jews in the media and entertainment monopoly know how to perpetuate conflict, how to turn it into sizzle, how to sell it, how to capitalize on it. What progress has peace in the Middle East made in sixty years? None. Israel doesn't want an end to hostilities on any terms but its own and its terms are that as long as there's a single Islamic martyr willing to kill himself or herself in order to hurt a single Jew there's not gonna be an end to hostilities. Hostilities make money. There's always gonna be a quibble, a nuance, another nutty little Netanyahu nit to pick. Who's gonna solve that? The bottom line is that Israeli Jews and Arab Muslims don't hit it off, period, and it serves the purposes of media and entertainment to see to it that they never do. I suppose that's anti-Semitic, too..."

"...If I'd lived in Nazi Germany, Hitler would've pissed me off. I would've tried to piss him off back. I may have ended up in Dachau but I'd way rather have been in Dachau than goose-stepping around with a swastika on my arm, swallowing Nazi schmaltz all day every day. Where I'm living now is in Nazi America, and it's guys like Si Newhouse and Sumner Redstone and Michael Bloomberg and David Geffen and Stephen Spielberg and Arthur Sulzberger and Jeff Berg and their lawyers and publicists and the army of politicians, college professors and think tank dweebs they own and operate who piss me off. They've got the whole world gagging on worthless, moneygrubbing Nazi schmaltz and drowning in mindless, thoughtless, criminally insane corporate-Nazi horseshit..."


Here's Ginny Good in its entirety. It's free, like me. G.

Strachan Literary Agency
PO Box 2091
Annapolis, MD 21404

http://www.strachanlit.com

Laura Strachan (@)
query@strachanlit.com


The Strachan Literary Agency is committed to strong, quality narrative writing, whether literary fiction or narrative non-fiction. New, fresh voices are especially encouraged. The Strachan Literary Agency does not charge fees for reading or editing manuscripts. Query with brief synopsis and biographical statement, preferably by email. Laura

Perfection itself. Thanks. Brevity is the soul of wit. (Oh, ps, by the way, Laura Strachan is the agent for GINNY GOOD.) See how that all happened here:

GG Synopsis

Update: GG got sold but a bunch of subsidiary rights are still available through the publisher, however. If you want to buy any, let me know. The audio rights are still available through Laura, as well.

Update May, 2003: Since Gerry and I first had this e-mail conversation we've sold GINNY GOOD to a wonderful new publisher, Monkfish Publishing Company, for publication in Spring 2004, and we're working on the sale of audio and other rights. The agency is on a roll with recent sales of a novel, a collection of short stories, and a middle-grade reader with more on the horizon. Laura



Philip G. Spitzer Literary Agency
50 Talmage Farm Lane
East Hampton, NY 11937

Philip Spitzer (@)
Spitzer516@aol.com


Dear Gerard, I was surprised to get your e-mail. I really don't wish my correspondence to be made public. It was a private response to your query. I try to respond to every query I get, even though it takes up an enormous amount of time--time that might otherwise be spent on the writers I already represent. If my replies to queries are to be made public, I'd prefer not to reply at all; but I would hate to doing that. That notwithstanding, I would not mind making a statement about what I look for and/or how I work. Sincerely, Philip

Dear Phillip: I'm a little unclear about my free speech rights to publish responses to my work vis-a-vis the responders rights to privacy and copyrights. I'm winging this thing. I work as hard as you do and am just as conscientious. This Internet stuff has a lot of gray areas. I'm sure it'll sort itself out. Poke around in the site when (if ever) you have time. It might be a new art form. I'm sure I'll get in a little trouble along the way, but I'd really prefer not to. I think it's a useful tool and a candid overview of what it's like to be a writer, an agent, an editor and a publisher all at the same time. I no doubt have my biases, but I have ethical standards, as well. So do agents, editors and publishers on an individual basis. Yours seem pretty high. So, I think, are mine. Say anything you want. How THIS all came about is explained here in the About this Directory section. G.

Dear Gerard, Here is an elaboration of my situation: I'm trying to not take on new projects. I'm a one-man office with a disproportionately long list of clients. And I am usually months behind in my reading. I do read and respond to queries, however, and I am always tempted to ask to see a proposal or manuscript that intrigues me. But it's rare that I have the proper amount of time to devote to a new project, and I am constantly disappointed that I can't be of help. Agents really do get over-committed and not asking to see a writer's manuscript/proposal is not a reflection on the writer's work...not a rejection. Most writers (to my mind) can't conceive of the fact that any given agent can't take on one more exciting book. But when taking the time to consider a new book project takes time away from something I should be doing for a client, then I am not doing my job properly. Best, Philip Spitzer

Dear Philip: Personally, I do understand that, but I think it will be helpful to others to hear it from a guy with your integrity and obvious affection for the work you do and the writers you represent. Thanks again. G.

Dear Mr. Jones, Thank you for writing - I would love to see your work, but must admit, I'm terrible with the email query. Might you be able to send something in to me? Best, Donna Bagdasarian.

Dear Donna: In an email, you said you'd "love" to see some of my work. Here's some. I'm in the middle of doing another version with the new title, but you should be able to get a pretty good idea from this whether you want to pursue it or not. Thanks again. Gerard Jones

Dear Mr. Jones, Enclosed please find your manuscript for Astral Weekend (or, Oprah Wimsfree and the Mayonnaise Man). We understand that you are sending manuscripts to agencies to garner their responses, and we wish you well in your efforts. Understandably, we need to focus out time and attention reading and representing manuscripts for clients whose primary interest is in getting their works published. Please accept our best wishes for a happy and healthy holiday season. Best regards, Donna Baddasarian

Dear Donna: Do you really think I'd spend a million years writing a 450 page novel and shell out fifty bucks to have it copied and mailed simply to "garner" a response from an agent? I wouldn't. I've garnered plenty of responses from plenty of agents, some more thoughtful than others. I've also recently sold the memoir I mentioned. Thanks for returning my manuscript unread after four months. I guess that's better than not returning it at all. Happy holidays to you, as well, and I wish you and your clients nothing but the best in the coming year. G.

***Redacted***

Dear Julie: I don't want the ms. back, no. Sorry it wasn't your type of thing. Whose type of thing it might be, I have no idea, I just wrote it. I asked my daughter once when she was a kid, "Hey, what's that a picture of?" She shrugged. "I don't know, I just drawed it." I do have an imagination, yes. It gets me in a little trouble now and then. I'm glad you thought it was hilarious. Thanks for taking a look. G.

Dear Gerard (if I may), I'm delighted to be included, thank you. The most pertinent info about the agency is that it's been in business over 25 years.

Of course we handle other types of books--multi-cultural, narrative nonfiction, history, women's issues--a pretty broad gamut. No sci-fi or horror.

Please delete mention of me and our agency from you website. We are overwhelmed by unsolicited queries. Thank you, Merry K. Pantano

Dear Merry: I'm sorry. Everyone's overwhelmed by unsolicited queries, but that's your job isn't it? To separate what's good in your opinion from what's bad in your opinion and get the good stuff into the hands of an editor who might share your opinion? I'm overwhelmed by unsolicited advertising, but do you think that's gonna stop people who are trying to sell stuff from advertising their products? I don't think so. I've included the information that you would prefer not to be overwhelmed by unsolicited queries. That's the best I can do. Please refer to my inclusion/exclusion policy at the bottom of this page:

I will have a look. I am really excited about your history of the comic book industry. Since reading KAVALIER AND KLAY that world has been with me.

Hey, Carol, I'm not the comic book Gerard Jones. We get confused for one another. I knew Sonny Barger very slightly in San Francisco a long time ago, however, and think Jim Fitzgerald did good stuff. I'd love to send you as much of the book as you'd like to see. Thanks. G.

Dear Gerald: Thanks so much for sending OPHRA WIMSFREE....for our consideration. After careful review we've decided that's it's not quite right for us. I really liked the voice in OPHRA, but ultimately I'm afraid it was a little zanier that things we typically handle. Your novel has many strengths and I sincerely hope you are able to locate an agency better suited to handle your project. In all your efforts toward publication I wish you the best of luck. All best, David Harvey, Development Assistant

You know I haven't had a chance to download and read the material you sent me in its entirety, but I've read enough to know that you're a capable writer. What I'd like to ask is for you to send me the first 50 pages along with a synopsis, information about yourself and any publishing history you and this work have, please tell me whether others are reading the material as well. I will be out of town till January 7th., but I'd be happy to read this upon my return - thanks.

Okay. G.

Well I see what attracted Gordon Lish to your writing, you have a natural way with words. But still having said this I'm afraid these pages didn't strike me as absoltuely the novel to go to the mat for. Given how difficult it is to sell new fictiont these days I'm afraid that's what it takes. Sorry I can't break the 'no publishing' streak. Good luck.

Well, somebody either will or they won't. Good luck to you too. G.

Go ahead an include me in your book, though as I'm sure you know there are already lots of guides out there in the stores. AS for your two books, tell me a bit more about yourself, any publishing background, whether these books have been seen already (whether in this or earlier drafts)...Felicia Eth

Yeah, you saw part of the memoir--Gordon Lish was right to think I was cool, yadda, yadda, but didn't want to see the novel probably because it included Oprah Winfrey as a character in a fantasy the poor main character had as a result of an undiagnosed giant brain aneurysm. Anything you want me to say about you in the directory, let me know. Oh, and the slick thing about this little project I'm working on is that it's got way more stuff in it than anything you can get in a store and it'll be on a website I can update as often as I may need to do so. Thanks. G.

(*) = E-mail bounced. Correct information much appreciated. In fact, anyone who knows anything I don't know, let me know.
