Return of A Naked Stranger


Some of you who read these blogs may or may not be aware of a literary hoax perpetuated in 1969 by a Newsday reporter to set out to write a bad book on the sexual mores of the time, and in fact enlisted several writers of the day with each one contributing a chapter based upon a loose snyopsis. The book became wildly successful and nothing has hit literary world quite like it since. I for one beleive it is time for the return of the naked stranger and I want to know if any readers care to join me? I currently open to ideas, though I have serveral of my own to get the book started. Of course we'll write under a pseudonym and there might not be much dough in it but a great deal of satisfaction for anyone who's ever taken a fancy to pulling the wool over the wise eyes of industry. We can pick almost any subect but sex usually works best,, sex and death and power are the top themes.
So anyone out there who wants to give this a go, email me dircet at pen95@yahoo.com and lets see what a shocking and gifted book we can come up with. Remember, you only need to write one chaper each -perhaps two if you're escpecially good.

I'll forgo my usual in lieu of the great adventue!
