From the review of Beef. I need to look up the meanings of woo-woo and bougie. ;D

Re: "Shouts and Murmurs":
I need to remember to go through my desk. Decades ago, there was something that I'm sure must have been in "Shouts and Murmurs," and I'm sure it must have been by Rudnick, about "the gay mafia." Some fool made a crack about there being a "gay mafia," and Rudnick ran with it for a whole page. It was very funny--again, at least to a gay man. I'm sure I saved it.

That's probably the way I've been amused by things that make fun of liberals. One time a crazy radio personality tried to spread a rumor that progressives were going to march in downtown New York the next day. The responses on Twitter were hilarious. Stuff like, "Could we reroute it so it goes past the Midtown Starbucks? I've got a meeting there at noon." "I'll join you right after my yoga class." But the funniest was "Until that check from Soros hits my mailbox, I don't go anywhere."

That reminds me of the time I listened to a funny satire of a woman buzzing around town in her Prius listening to NPR, on NPR while I was driving in my Prius.
The ghostwriter article was good but it was missing information about who came up with the Hamlet references, Harry or Moehringer. But based on the other literary references in it, I would guess it was the ghostwriter.
