Just don't put "Dog" in your title

Janet Maslin trashes Dog Days, the debut novel by Ana Marie Cox (aka blog-goddess, Wonkette), in the NYT today. Because Cox is funny and beautiful -- and Maslin is neither -- I'm tempted to ignore the review and run right out to the Borders two blocks away and by the thing anyway. (DC says: Support independent bookstores, kids!)

If only it didn't sound like such a tedious piece of crap.

Cox is almost entirely retired from Wonkette, as she's too busy promoting her crappy novel. Photo copywrited by somebody at the NYT
