Best-selling author of Fire and Fury and chronicler of the Trump White House Michael Wolff dissects more of the major monsters, media whores, and vainglorious figures of our time. His scalpel opens their lives, careers, and always equivocal endgames with the same vividness and wit he brought to his disemboweling of the former president. These brilliant and biting profiles form a mesmerizing portrait of the hubris, overreach, and nearly inevitable self-destruction of some of the most famous faces from the Clinton era through the Trump years.

You need a certain worldview and vocabulary to get this.

I absolutely guarantee that those who liked this book like it even more when they see the people who do not like it. Firstly, the understanding that this is a collection of articles in essays and not a chronological historical text is missed by the less sophisticated. Secondly, It’s written by a Vanity Fair columnist who lives in Greenwich Village with impeccable style and cafe society bona fides. A high opinion of himself is the price of admission and we would have one to, if we got to sit in the rooms he gets to grace.
I really want to see a review of somebody who actually understands this book who doesn’t like it. There are none here.
