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. . .

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

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

This Instagram account shares hilarious one-star reviews. I adore it.

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:

“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.

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.
