Now that you’ve finished reading The DaVinci Code, get ready for the next blockbuster book. Just before Iraq was invaded Saddam Hussein wrote a novel about an Arab tribesman who defeats foreign invaders. It had the charmingly alluring title Get Out of Here, Curse You. I guess The DeFeated Code was taken. It’s only available in Japan right now, where it’s called Devil’s Dance, but if the translator has her way it will be all over the place. “I really think this book should be made into a musical,” Itsuko Hirata said. “And once this is done, it should play in the heart of his enemy’s country, on Broadway.” May I be the first to suggest it include a song with the lyrics, “Springtime for Saddam, in Baghdad”?
