Interesting e-mail from a blog fan
I received this email today someone who works in a New York publishing house. One of the books in their collection will appear in this season's episode #4, called "Eggtown."
The author of the email, Patrick Hederman, feels that describing the books might be a a little spoiler-y. So with this knowledge, only click the jump at your own risk.
(Personally, I don't think it will ruin your enjoyment of the show, maybe enhance it)
POSSIBLE SPOILERS BELOW!! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Here's the email:
My Fellow Lost Bloggers-- I'm sure with the impending return of our beloved Losties right around the corner, things have been hectic for you this week. Last night I had the feeling of an elementary schooler the night before Christmas. I'm writing you because I work at a a publishing house in NYC called New York Review Books (an imprint of The New York Review of Books magazine). We've recently caught wind from a reliable source that one of the books in our collection, The Invention of Morel by Adolfo Bioy Cesares, will be prominently featured on episode #4 titled Eggtown, being read by either Locke or Sawyer (our source thinks its Locke). The book, inspired by the author's childhood fascination with the movie star Louise Brooks, is set on a mysterious island and tells the story of a bizarre romance filled with suspense and mystery. Many have compared Morel to the works of Philip K. Dick. If you click this link, you'll see that other bloggers are beginning to pick up on this leak. I thought you, too, might have an interest in posting this information--a leak could only help drive traffic to your site (and we've all witnessed the importance of books on the island). Perhaps under the spoiler section would be appropriate. I've included a scan of the book cover below, and our website is www.nybooks.com in case you wanted to check it out. Please feel free to contact me.
All Best Wishes,
