SMALL TALK

P: So how do you reckon Benton Ross is doing these days?
R: Oh they're doing O.K. I think. Nigel Cox's DIRTY WORK is selling really well and "WAITING FOR EINSTEIN" is also picking up. Womens Press in U.K. have just published their edition of Lisa Greenwood's "THE ROUNDNESS OF EGGS". Iris Galey's "I COULDN'T CRY WHEN DADDY DIED" is top of the bestseller list in Switzerland and "WINKELMANN" won the N.Z. Book Awards for production.
P: Shit, that sounds pretty good.
R: Yeah; next year's publishing programme looks pretty good too.
