sophronisba 's review for:

Bunk: The Rise of Hoaxes, Humbug, Plagiarists, Phonies, Post-Facts, and Fake News by Kevin Young

4.0

I enjoyed reading this book, particularly the parts about literary hoaxes (and I will never turn down an opportunity to revisit the sad saga of Stephen Glass). It feels too diffuse, though, and I'm not sure it ever really jells.
