This is a dense read, but Young does excellent research throughout. He's a poet by nature so his prose and style of writing can be all over the place, but he finds ways to weave smaller examples and stories into his larger points. The chapters on Stephen Glass, Jayson Blair, and JT LeRoy are especially great. I would recommend reading this one slowly, a chapter at a time.

Interesting topics, well researched but very poorly written. The author is a poet by trade, so I think he finds it difficult to just come out and say what he means without stumbling around and trying to play word games.

It's not that it wasn't interesting, I was just having trouble getting through the audiobook. Shall pick up later when I have the physical book.
