Bleeding Edge: Promo video for the German market

[John Bailey]

Terrible. TERRIBLE.

But asking publishers to make A-grade movie trailers on any novel's
marketing budget is equally terrible.

In the 90s you had your Baudrillards and Delillos forecasting that
shit like this would replace the work itself. Maybe it's a saving
grace that that they can't afford to. Pynchon's writing is hardly
pro-advertising.

But f--k, how hard is it to sit through either the German or American videos?
