A sneak peek at P---y, the soon-to-be published novel about Donald Trump [View all]
https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/books/a-sneak-peek-at-p---y-an-upcoming-novel-about-donald-trump/2017/04/06/1eb9391a-1af9-11e7-bcc2-7d1a0973e7b2_story.html?tid=pm_entertainment_pop&utm_term=.98cc935a2db7
It hardly seems fair that Americans must wait to grab a copy of Howard Jacobson’s new novel, “P---y.”
But let’s not get started on Things About Donald Trump That Are Unfair, or we’ll be here all week.
Jacobson, the Man Booker Prize-winning author of “The Finkler Question,” started writing this ribald satire just hours after Trump won the presidential election, and within a few weeks his manuscript was already rushing to print. His fellow Brits can get the book on April 13, but those of us enduring the American carnage firsthand must wait till mid May. An extremely credible source tells me this is unpresidented!!!
Nevertheless, someone — no, not Susan Rice — sent me an early copy of “P---y,” and I moved on it like a b----. When you’re a book critic, they let you do it. You can do anything (except quote the president’s unfiltered words in a family newspaper).

Resist. Pay for newspapers that challenge Trump's administration and asks them difficult questions. I started paying for Washington Post to support them.
