I Read That Book!

Ezra Klein pointed to this devastating review of Chesa Boudin’s Gringo: A Coming-of-Age in Latin America, and I couldn’t help feel as if I had read that sort of pretentious liberal fart-twaddletm before. And I had! It was the very funny Neal Pollack’s The Neal Pollack Anthology of American Literature: The Collected Writings of Neal Pollack. Of course the problem is Pollack’s book is satire.

    Ah hell if he keeps that style of writing up i foresee him taking over Tom Friedman’s column in the NYTimes in a few years. Honestly the reviewer almost seemed to echo some of Taibbi’s criticisms of Friedman over the years.
