Enjoy!
I was smugly satisfied to see one book I listened to - The Unfolding - on the list. It wasn't so bad that is was unforgettable, but I keep thinking about it because it really could have been a good novella. https://lithub.com/the-most-scathing-book-reviews-of-2022/?utm_source=pocket-newtab |

“Moshfegh’s own sacraments involve a different orifice, so you will forgive her if her search has led her up her own a$$"
lol! These are comedy gold. I haven't read any on the list, but this has piqued my interest. |

Wow - these are awesome. Thanks!
Meanwhile, when I saw this post, I immediately thought of the NY Times review of Jared Kushner's "memior". Hilarious review, albeit like shooting fish in a barrel: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/17/books/review-breaking-history-jared-kushner.html |

| Wow. Those are brutal! My own novel came and went in 2022 with barely a blip from reviewers, maybe that was a blessing? At least I sold the film rights. . . |

Wait, what? A fancy pant author who sold film rights hangs out in the DCUM cesspool? |

| Failed authors dying to cut down other authors… how predictable. It’s so over the top and boring. |

PP novelist here -- thanks for all the congrats! And no, I am not Susan, but yes I am local to the DMV.
I sold the rights, they have hired a writer, now I just wait to see if anything actually happens! I'll be sure to let DCUm know. . . |
