Suzannah B. Troy Endorses "Roots of Betrayal" : It Was Better Than "Cats" !

Yesterday, the blogger and artist Suzannah B. Troy starred in a humorous YouTube video promoting the publication and sale of Volume I of Roots of Betrayal : The Ethics of Christine Quinn. Ms. Troy says in the video, "This book is better than Cats!" -- a reference to a campy commercial for a Broadway show that was often parodied.

Roots of Betrayal, written by the LGBT blogger and activist Louis Flores, examines the arc of Christine Quinn’s political career, which nominally began as a hero’s journey before it morphed into a tale about political betrayals. The entire book will be serialized this summer in four volumes reminiscent of pamphleteering done in our tradition of bringing about political change.

“Before the advent of blogs and digital social media, political pamphlets allowed activists to mobilize voters,” said Flores. “My hope is that Roots of Betrayal will educate voters offline about how Christine Quinn is the worst mayoral candidate this year.”

Volume I of Roots of Betrayal will become available for sale at Book Thug Nation in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and at St. Mark’s Bookshop in Manhattan.

A Conversation with David Kaufman, Author of Doris Day Biography

Doris Day: The Untold Story of the Girl Next Door
by David Kaufman

Today, I had lunch with the artist and blogger Suzannah B. Troy, who introduced me to David Kaufman. Mr. Kaufman wrote a biography of Doris Day, which was published by Virgin Books in 2008. (Read a great review of the book, which has made me feel eager to read the biography.)


I got to ask Mr. Kaufman a question about how it came about that Ms. Day became good friends with the author Jacqueline Susann.

Watch the video, then buy the book. I'm reading it now. I love Doris Day !
