That Evil Mayor Bloomford Seems Familiar
-
New York Mayor Bloomberg's daughter, who rides horses in show jumping competitions, wrote a novel about a mayor's daughter who rides horses in show jumping competitions. Because it's a novel, she can hide behind "it's fiction" while revealing family secrets and making her dad look bad. Yes, you gotta write what you know, but when it's obviously modeled on real life, it's disingenuous; you're asserting facts without having to be responsible for them. (New York Times)
