or weird coincidence? I'm taking a course on tape about the city and urban life as portrayed in the arts and literature, and the instructor is using the book Moll Flanders by Daniel Defoe as a good example of literature about urban life. So I looked it up on Amazon and I discovered that there is an edition of the book with an afterward by Gina! Yes, our Gina!
http://www.amazon.com/Moll-Flanders-Signet-Classics-Paperback/dp/0451529855/sr=11-1/qid=1166416873/ref=sr_11_1/102-1938298-7281767 or http://tinyurl.com/ya3xsq The weirdest part was that it said that the authors were Daniel Defoe and Regina Barreca (afterward). At first glance it looks like Mr. Defoe collaborated with Gina and asked her to write the afterward, which caused me to do a doubletake. It's only $6--I might have to get it just to see what Gina has to say. I thought it was pretty funny. Turns out she wrote the afterward for several female-oriented literary classics including Portrait of a Lady. The other odd thing was I did a search on "Regina Barreca" and it listed lots of her books but not I'm with Stupid, but when I looked up "I'm with Stupid" she is listed as "Gina Barreca". So all the books where she put her name like that won't come up in a "Regina Barreca" search. She probably did it like that for I'm with Stupid because of the "Gene and Gina" thing. Anyway, I just thought the whole thing was interesting, you may not.
