Amitav Ghosh?

[Mark Kohut]

Tell your friend: New head of Morrow pressured us like .......to make
it a huge bestseller. We did, but he did
not check nor ask us to find out what else was coming out when it was.
So, the boasting TOP DOG---who didn't last long--
promised Ken #1 NYTimes, fer sure.
But Clancy when he was hot shipped at the same time. Ken was #2. Ken was NOT
happy. (part of Top Dog's demise). ...
I can remember the schadenfreude when Top Dog rumbled onto our floor to
ask why no one told him Clancy was coming out......"You never asked".
I wanted to say.
I think someone did tell him he was told. "and you never listened anyway".
