Expect A Slew Of Self-Congratulatory Norma Ray Rip-Offs, Re-Makes and Unofficial Sequels In 2009

With Hollywood biting their nails over a possible writer's strike, should the literary world be expecting a windfall of oddly formatted, dialog-heavy submissions? Speaking for myself, I can only dreeeaaam of what a book by the writers of LOST would be like. Or a novel by Alan Thicke. Or a cookbook by the geniuses behind Desperate Housewives. On second thought, Hollywood...please don't strike.
