Happy birthday to the one and only Jonny M.!
Happy heavenly birthday to the great Edward G. Robinson!
This novel was originally published under the title Christmas Orgy but when Hack was facing a deadline with an evangelical publishing outlet for a Christmas-themed book on spirituality, he changed the nymphomaniacs in the original who came over to trim Jonny’s tree only to find the doors and windows locked when they got there to angels taking the form of his favorite Hollywood celebrities and added a few Bible verses for legitimacy. Surprisingly, the original version was condemned by the Catholic Legion of Decency but the rewritten versions (with all its original debauchery left intact, including a gang bang sequence in the final chapter which was appalling even by Hack’s standards) won an award for Christian Values from the same organization.
Happy birthday to Johnny Bench!
Since his series of Shakespearean adaptations was such a surprising success, Hack couldn’t rest until he did the final major tragedy, Othello. It’s honestly far from my favorite play but Boris thought this novelization represented Hack’s best work.
