Read any good Nazi Gnome stories lately?
I stumbled on this image today while looking for something else. Something that didn’t involve gnomes armed with bull whips and wearing swastika armbands. What really struck me with this image was not the book itself, but the snippet from a review from the New York Times.
Why would the New York Times even review a book like this?
I tried to find something about the book’s author, John Christopher. As it turns out, that is not his real name. It’s only one of the many pen names employed by British writer Samuel Youd.
They don’t write books like this anymore. Maybe if they did, someone from the New York Times would review it.
