Posted at 10:17AM Monday 17 Nov 2008
Following the US elections, Edinburgh publisher Secret Pockets Entertainments Limited is seeing a sharp rise in demand for their teenage fiction novel "The Bear in a Safari Hat".The story, a debut work by Glasgow writer JoJo Gould, is allegorical and tells the tale of a young bear who is educated in Jakarta (like Obama) and who travels to the West with a message of hope. Keen eyed Amazon.co.uk reviewers have so far picked out more than a dozen links in the story to the rise of Barack Obama. The aim of the novel is to encourage teenage reading and to seek meaning through fiction. The book has also been picked up by Barnes & Noble (barnesandnoble.com) and Amazon.com in the USA.
