Ortved’s Publicists x Episode 1 x “Simpsons Book”
// November 27th, 2009 // Books
The author of “THE SIMPSONS: AN UNCENSORED, UNAUTHORIZED HISTORY” meets the publicists recommended to him by his publisher. This is the first of eight shorts with Ortved’s publicists.
How did such a curious artifact become “the most powerful, lasting, and resonant entertainment force television has ever seen”? That is the task taken up by Ortved’s “uncensored, unauthorized” history, which is as tasty as a pink-glazed donut with sprinkles, as refreshing as a Duff beer and as piquant as a curry slushy from Kwik-E Mart. And doubly delightful because, for once, the heroes are writers.
-Louis Bayard, The Washington Post
