Follow on Google News | Jackson media fever reminds author of Katlin HillmacherAmerican writer D.L. Shiloh's satire "Pookoo" was about celebrity obsession. It even mentions Michael Jackson. Shiloh chimes in on the comparisons.
"It's been interesting watching the headlines this summer, reading the blogs and tweets," Shiloh said. "There's been two camps. I'd been interested in the whole 24-hour news cycle up through the 90's. As a former journalist I had a few things to say. It can be exciting and tragic." "Michael Jackson's mentioned (for a reason) and so it's a bit eerie," Shiloh added. "But it's tied in to the whole celebrity thing. Death will make him a huge star. The book had a lot to say about that element to news business." Shiloh's take on the recent Pepsi video accident was, "After 25 years, the MTV Generation saw its Zapruder moment - the MJ Pepsi accident video says so much." When asked if there will be a sequel to "Pookoo", Shiloh had this to say: "I have two books, if the interest is there. But all the new things in society would make it in there. We'll see." Pookoo is available at http://www.amazon.com/ Shiloh's Twitter page can be found at http://www.twitter.com/ # # # Homefield Multimedia is a multimedia group using new media technology, publishing books, CDs and DVDs.
