Publisher Won't Reissue Lynn Cheney Novel

A publisher has canceled plans to reissue a racy novel by Lynne Cheney, wife of Vice President Dick Cheney, after she said the book did not represent "her best work."

...according to Cheney's attorney, Robert Barnett, she did not even know about the reissue plans until receiving calls last week from the media. Barnett then contacted the publisher, which agreed this week to pull the novel....

Her novel was the subject of a recent satirical performance at the New York Theatre Workshop, with actors reading such passages as, "Let us go away together, away from the anger and imperatives of men. There will be only the two of us, and we shall linger through long afternoons of sweet retirement. In the evenings I shall read to you while you work your cross-stitch in the firelight. And then we shall go to bed, our bed, my dearest girl."...
