“Sharon, if you’re watching this, I want my dog back.”
Did you happen to see the viral post about Turkish shooter Dikec Yusuf who “who only recently took up shooting after a particularly heated argument with his ex-wife” and whose “unorthodox approach—no specialty gear, no training regimen, and a wardrobe consisting of his everyday jeans and a T-shirt—has baffled professional shooters…
After winning silver, Yusuf stood emotionless on the Olympic podium and declared, “Sharon, if you’re watching this, I want my dog back.”
Quite the bloke and quite the story, except it’s not real:) The account name—Sports Memery—should’ve been a dead giveaway!
What is very real (and imminent) is the reissuing of Ursula Parrot’s first book, Ex-Wife, by Faber Books in the UK, which incidentally was (anonymously) published the same year Faber was founded: 1929. An instant bestseller when it first came out, Ex-Wife is the story of a divorce and its aftermath that scandalized the Jazz Age—and still resonates today. The US edition by Mcnally has an Afterword by her son.
It’s the kind of book readers exclaim “where has this been my entire life?!” about, and I’m very keen to read it. Oh, and the cap is real.
