pistache (pis-tash): a friendly spoof or parody of another's work.
[Deriv uncertain. Possibly a cross between pastiche and p**stake.]
From Thomas Hardy's football report to Dan Brown's visit to the
cash dispenser, the work of the great and the not-so-great is here
sent up with little hope of coming down. Most of these pieces began
their life on Radio Four's The Write Stuff, but have been retooled
for the printed page. Others, such as Martin Amis's first day at
Hogwarts, have been written specially for this collection. Philip
Larkin's Lines in Celebration of the Queen Mother's 115th Birthday,
first banned, then cut by the BBC, appears in its entirety for the
first time. This is not a book for the faint-hearted or the
downstairs lavatory. It is a book for the bedside table of someone
you cannot live without.
