Hugo's book club? Chavez speech sparks sales for Chomsky
Author Noam Chomsky got an unexpected boost in sales after Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez cited one of his books in a speech to the UN General Assembly.
"The people of the United States should read this ... instead of … watching Superman movies," The unexpected promotion had a surprising effect on online bestseller lists. Hegemony or Survival, originally published in 2003, had jumped into the top 10 of Amazon and Barnes & Noble.com as of Thursday afternoon.
Chomsky, the famed 77-year-old linguist, has been an outspoken opponent of U.S. foreign policy. His many books include 9-11, a best selling collection of interviews, and Failed States, which came out last spring.
