Amazing Psychic Powers orMastery of the Obvious?

Galleycat, last Friday: John Barry’s Rising Tide is “hovering around #15 [on Amazon]–and I’m betting it cracks the top ten tonight… when C-SPAN airs a live, one-hour special.”

PW Daily, yesterday: “Rising Tide is currently #9 at Amazon.com. What’s your reaction to all the renewed interest in the book?”

As it happens, Barry hates that people are turning to his book as a response to the tragic aftermath of Katrina: “Every time I get a phone call for another interview request, it’s like a stab.” Not that he wouldn’t consider writing a Katrina book, but “in terms of really understanding the impact of the storm on our society, it’s got to be at least a decade, and probably longer.”
