![]() ![]() So we buy them, anticipating some solid Pulitzer-worthy narrative. (In the case of Rage, it's Trump spilling his brains on COVID-19 the president kept calling Woodward because he was mad at being left out of Woodward's previous book, Fear.) I-Broke-Watergate convinces every source in Washington to speak to him eventually, and they usually have something jaw-dropping to say when the tape-recorder's on. At long last, with unusual honesty, Woodward becomes a visible character in his own decades-long story - and actually checks his own privilege. Only after Woodward, at age 77, has an Alice in Wonderland epiphany halfway through, and changes the way he interviews Trump. ![]() My answer: Yes, but only 50 percent of the thing. ![]() Whisper it low: Could Rage, out in bookstores this week, be the first Bob Woodward book in an age that's actually worth reading? ![]()
