Is the writer’s task one of expression or communication - and what’s the difference, Peter asks.  Only in France! In today’s Write Report, Donna French president Nicolas Sarkozy is needled with a publishing company for selling a voodoo doll bearing his likeness – and has threatened to take legal action against them.  Only in Hackney!  British author Ian Sinclair dares to criticize the 2012 Olympic games due to be held in London –and promptly has his book launch canceled by his local council, the people’s republic of Hackney.  Nice work, comrades.  In Eve’s Salmagundi Club, she discovers a neato website that claims to dispense advice about “how to live with a writer” - send the link to your spouse pronto!
