| Message: Penquin has just published Dog Days, Ana Marie Cox’s novel about the inside of the last presidential campaign from view of the foot soldiers.. In this work of fiction, Ann Marie she draws on her experience as the editor of Wonkette, a web log of Washington gossip distilled from the 1,000 emails aday. Wonkette also printed opionions from Mr. Wonkette, her father Sam Cox and fromMrs. Wonkette, her mother Shirley Cox. |

| (Part 2) Ana Marie graduated from Southeast High School, while her father Sam taught actuarial science at the University of Nebraska. Sam, of course, now is at Georgia State and holds the Bowles Chair of Actuarial Science there and was the first editor of the Journal of Actuarial Research. Ana Marie, after southeast high, graduated from the University of Chicago before getting married and moving to Washington DC. |

| (Part 3) The New York Times Book Review has Dog Days on its recommend list saying: “A smart, smutty first novel of Capital Shenanigans from the woman behind Wonkette,” words from a review by Christopher Buckley that indicates Dog Days may soon be a movie. The same issue features Ana Marie Cox as a book reviewer taking apart Kate O’Beirne’s new book Women who Made the World Worse. Also, within the last few days I have seen an Op Ed piece by Ana on the New York Times editorial page. |
