The advertisement reads "You already know his name; now read his book!" Alain Stanké, a Montreal publisher devoted to "bring out new literary talents," has published a book by Libyan leader Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi. Titled Escape to Hell and Other Stories, the volume features an introduction by Pierre Salinger, referred to by the New York Times as "the former J.F.K. press secretary and air-disaster theorist." Stanké calls Qaddafi "an original thinker whose ideas flow from the ever-developing and conflicting reality of what is best and most beautiful," and promises that "three films based on the short stories will soon be in the movie theaters." A spokesman for the publisher also hints of future projects including other "world leaders," including Fidel Castro.
