The Washington Post published a review of Adam Langer's The Thieves of Manhattan, a badly needed spoof on the memoir writing industry. I have not read Langer's book, his fourth, so I cannot comment on it from personal experience. However, his target is a juicy one, especially now, as the public relations apparatus promoting Eat Pray Love has initiated a full-court press for the memoir's film and print versions.
Alas, the WaPo review was released in the literary world's Siberia, also known as a Saturday in August.
If you're curious about Langer's work, visit the author's website. One surprising page on his site includes his musical playlists that one could listen to while reading his books and his other works.
