Lenny the Lobster is sad (what else) that Chicago didn't win the Olympic bid.
Rio De Janiero was chosen to be the 2016 host city of the Summer Olympic Games, which means that the world's hopes of a new D.L. Shiloh short story featuring Lenny the Lobster have been put off. Readers were set to vote for the new story's title over at Shiloh's official web site, http://www.dlshiloh.com.
“It's unfortunate, but I'm happy for Rio,” Shiloh said. “But this may have set the fight for the Novel back a decade. We'll see. Everyone is stunned that the Windy City didn't make it. I feel a bit like Kanya West has grabbed the microphone.”
Shiloh had vowed to add to the Lenny the Lobster legend if Chicago, his former residence and the setting for “Pookoo”, a satire about celebrity and sports, was chosen.
“I'm sure there's a solution,” Shiloh added. “I think Duran Duran is going to make a lot of dough from the downloads of their 80's hit "Rio."
Speaking of downloads, the PDF of "Pookoo", the entire e-book that boasts Lenny the Lobster and also an Olympic javelin athlete, is for free at http://www.dlshiloh.com.
