I'll Take Manhattan

Judith Krantz

I wrote about Judith Krantz's unwittingly dystopian 1986 novel I'll Take Manhattan, which is partly set in Trump Tower and features Trump as a character (and was made into a miniseries with Valerie Bertinelli), for @LAReviewofBooks https://t.co/6GVVR6UxgA https://t.co/bhOyg13vhJ

Male Fantasies: Volume 2: Male Bodies: Psychoanalyzing the White Terror Volume 2

Klaus Theweleit

Glad to see Theweleit's name coming up today. I think Male Fantasies is such an important book. It explodes the "lone wolf" canard and historicizes what we're seeing in a terrifying way. I wasn't on Twitter when I reviewed it in 2016 so, tweeting this now. https://t.co/RRJCLxnqsh
