Interview

Friday, January 28, 2011

The buzzy new novel O imagines Obama's 2012 re-election campaign, but its insider author is staying anonymous. Kurt is hot on the trail of who it might be, with help from New York magazine political writer John Heilemann, now working on the sequel to his own (nonfiction) campaign book Game Change.

"Game Change" was one of the most gossipy, sexist pieces of snark I have ever seen. Why this guy has any credibility is beyond me. Oy, so now there's a sequel on the way. Ugh!
