CTKA's review of Survivor's Guilt

[Magda Hassan]

I worked in the book publishing business for thirty years or so, both as a managing editor for small independent houses and as a freelance writer. It was always a tough business economically and has become much harder now.

Yeah, I imagine it is quite a hard gig. Especislly for the smaller publishers.

An then look at what SKyhorse did with Reclaiming Parkland. THey cut out all the great stuff I had on Bugliosi plus my chapter on Mexico City.

I didn't know about this stuff. Great!

Wonderful that you have put what was excluded where we can read it.

I was very disappointed that Skyhorse cut that stuff out of the book.

I really think the chapter on Mex CIty is the best short treatment in the literature. ANd the chapter on Bugliosi is the fullest biography of the man there ever was. In many ways its unprecedented.

Why do you think Skyhorse left them out? Worried about a libel suit? Might be a problem for a small publishing house but maybe they should stick to fiction if they don't want to touch living histories.Otherwise it really is cultural vandalism to do what they did.
