Viva Obama!
Here at Hamish Hamilton we’re absolutely overjoyed about Barack Obama’s victory on Tuesday and our thoughts are with Team Obama as they prepare to get stuck into what can only be described as a very, very important job.
On Monday in Five Dials, we had paid our own advance tribute to the US elections with a selection of authors looking back on the election as though it had already happened, and to our delight, the Guardian featured this in G2 as a wonderful five-page spread.
None of the scenarios imagined actually came true, but the real-life result was enough to keep us smiling for a while, so we’re not complaining.
