Title: ANOTHER LIFE IS FLAT AS A PANCAKE
Review: Michael Korda , a tiny little man with a tremendous ego,has spent a lifetime in the book business,selling products. He might as well have have been in the underwear game or in scrap metal for all the passion he shows about the busienss of the written word.Korda sees writers as one small element in the creation of a brand-name product, a game he learned at Simon & Schuster. Every person he brings on stage,from Presidents Nixon and Reagan to his boss, Paramount Chairman and CEO Martin Davis,from S&S authors to agent-salesman Swifty Lazar,is presented as an inferior walk-on character in central casting compared with The Great Korda." If it sells, its good," is the motto of the characters in the garment industry . That should have been the title of Korda's cynical book.
