London Book Fair 2006: The Dream of the Decade - The London Novels out via Amazon.com's first venture into publishing is free to download for the duration of the Fair
Some have credited its sales to the fact that the author, Afshin Rattansi, worked for Al Jazeera's flagship series "Top Secret" - a strand that first identified the perpetrators of 9/11. Others have commented on the rumor-mill which has begun about whether the book is really by Rattansi and not actually the holy grail of literary endeavour: a new novel by reclusive author, J.D. Salinger.
Rattansi has been appearing on radio across the U.S. as well as on Fox News. His sales have increased after appearances on Fox&Friends, the syndicated Jim Bohannon, Ron Insana, Lars Larson Shows, ABC syndicated radio, National Public Radio's "To The Point" and the G. Gordon Liddy Show.
The book is in four parts:
The Dream of the Decade - a book about the climactic changes in London caused by financial deregulation of the City as a high-flier falls from grace amidst the turbulent 1980s. Editor, Dan Franklin said "He captures the atmosphere of the 80s."
Reproach - a book about how those who live in cities cope with the fear of terrorism, how the horrors of political and religous violence inhabit the psyches of the affluent young in fashionable bars. "Uplifting, after all." - Charles Bukowski.
A Taste of Money - a book about the lives of those affected by real estate speculation. "A great book." - Johnny Cash.
Good Morning, Britain - a book about how a large media organization unwittingly distorts every story, from private healthcare to the 1990s war in Yugoslavia, as the reader follows the training and eventual success of an ingenue we met in A Taste of Money. "Thatcherism dissected." - former Clash front-man, Joe Strummer.
In more traditional book-format, the book is available on Amazon.com for $21.99 and in the UK for £14.29.
