Why the fuck do you think he did it? So as to sell his book in large
numbers. Why does any artist cooperate with the media when they
release a new work? He wants people to read his book(s) and if that
means he has to act like a performing seal for a while well so what.
The fact that his books have attempted to undermine the media is
neither here nor there if they don't get read. Personally, I think Dr
Faust was onto a winner.
