When I first started reading this book, I really thought it was going to be one of those books that I would just give up on before I even reached the middle. The subject matter was so shallow and so out of my realm of reality.
But there are some truly hilarious scenarios. And the author really owns up to his shallowness and transcends it. He was like a George Costanza in the elite publishing world. So many bad choices and self sabotage. But he was and is also very intelligent and comes up with some fascinating insights about the Manhattan elite. I'll never look at Vanity Fair magazine the same again.
Fun read. Glad I didn't give up on it.
