You know, Farrar, Straus and Giroux must be some serious pissed-off right now. One of the most powerful bookmaking things in the country, and he says, "No, thank you." (Although not until the publicity was done.) I didn't even know you could turn down an "Oprah's Book Club" pick, although it makes a sort of sense; why would she pick a book by an author who wouldn't come on the show for the coffee klatch bit?
