On the bus
| | Jackie Collins | | The Hollywood novelist Jackie Collins has had something like 25 novels on the New York Times best-seller list; her latest, "Married Lovers", is at No. 13 this week. Collins has been promoting the book more heavily than usual, traveling the country in a monster bus where the Book Review's editor, Sam Tanenhaus, recently caught up with her for his weekly podcast and WQXR radio show, "Inside The New York Times Book Review".
"It's a crazy bus," she told him. "It was the former, so I've been told, Mariah Carey tour bus. So it's very luxurious. You know, we have a living room, we have two bathrooms, there's a queen-size bedroom, there's bunk beds. I can just imagine all the musicians when they were on here, having a great old party."
"What about this leopard skin we're sitting on?" Tanenhaus asked. "Is that yours?" "Actually it is, yes," Collins replied. "How did you guess?" (The New York Times)
