<div class="post-excerpt">
<p>Most people consider Donald Trump to be a gratuitous self-promoter, a somewhat charismatic actor, a clown, a demagogue, a misogynist, or a racist. But what everyone needs to understand about him is that what he considers himself, first and foremost, is a builder. In his latest book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Crippled-America-Make-Great-Again/dp/1501137964"><em>Crippled America: How to Make America Great Again</em></a>—the third book that he has written as a politician, after <em>The America We Deserve</em> (2000) and <em>Time to Get Tough: Making America #1 Again </em>(2011)—he repeats the same gesture that he also makes in the other two, namely that he constantly cites his building accomplishments as qualifications that make him better suited than any career politician imaginable to be President of the United States.</p>

<p>Umberto Eco’s first new novel in five years, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Numero-Zero-Umberto-Eco/dp/0544635086"><em>Numero Zero</em></a>, weighs in at 192 pages, versus 400+ for his previous efforts. I’m pretty Eco-friendly—<em>The Name of the Rose</em> was a lot of fun, if a bit overlong—so I was looking forward to something like <em>Rose</em> or <em>Foucault’s Pendulum</em>, except shorter, tighter, and brighter. Instead, readers of <em>Numero Zero</em> will find a little mystery, a bit of fantasy, some humor, and a lot of explanation: for better or for worse, this is a change of pace for Eco.<br></p>

<p>So often, when we look back on our formative years, the memories which scream loudest are the ones marked by fear, death, and adolescent angst. Some of these memories are grounded in reality while others, we’re told to believe, are pure fiction. Yet for many of us, the scary stories we encountered in the books of R.L. Stine, Stephen King, Alvin Schwartz, Anne Rice, and H.P. Lovecraft, among other authors, haunt us still. </p>

<div class="post-excerpt">
<p>This week saw the release of the first major, large-scale biography on one of pop music’s biggest and most guarded stars: Beyoncé. The product of hundreds of hours of interviews from dozens of sources, J. Randy Taraborrelli’s <em>Becoming Beyoncé</em> aims to be the definitive chronicle on the creation of an icon. It also suggests that virtually everything Beyoncé has told the public checks out. You won’t find any credence given to <a href="http://blackbag.gawker.com/did-beyonce-fake-her-pregnancy-1693597363">pregnancy conspiracy theories</a> or Illuminati affiliations. Beyoncé is portrayed as someone who was deeply secretive from the time she was a child (as one of her elementary school classmates attests), and a shrewd business woman who severs ties not out of vindictiveness but for the sake of her career. If you go into the book thinking Beyoncé is perfect, you will find your suspicions confirmed.</p>

<div class="post-excerpt">
<p>Like real women, fictional women are often seen as wish-fulfillment. The “strength” that we look for in a female protagonist is often there for sentimental purposes, and rarely resembles the iron, irradiated accountability that matters in real life, a type of strength that’s like the desert—unsparing and mercurial. Blessedly, this is the milieu of Claire Vaye Watkins, born in Death Valley, daughter of Charles Manson’s chief lieutenant. Her heart-stopping 2012 collection <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Battleborn-Stories-Claire-Vaye-Watkins/dp/159463145X"><em>Battleborn</em></a><em> </em>opens with a character named Razor Blade Baby, the product of a Family orgy, born when Manson sliced her out. Another story, “Man-O-War,” features a hermit scavenger picking up unused fireworks on the 5th of July and finding, instead, a pregnant teenager, bruised and half dead of heatstroke; what pair could possibly be more feeble, you think at the beginning, and then by the end, you wonder who could ever be so strong.</p>

<div class="post-excerpt">
<p>I blew through the last quarter of Lauren Groff’s <em>Fates and Furies </em>in the wee hours, gasping. Surprise is rare in literary fiction, which is snobbish with its pleasures, generally picking meditation over movement; surprise is even rarer in novels that run on language as flush, wild and glinting as Groff’s. “Goodness, he would lick her crown to hallux,” thinks teenage Lotto, just before fucking his teenage crush (“hands blistered to blood,” Groff writes; “her eyes overflowed the liner”) in the actual middle of a house fire. Romance, to Lotto’s wife, is like “corn rammed down goose necks, this shit they’d swallowed since they were barely old enough to dress themselves in tulle.” The style is wrought heavily but carefully, and its force is like water—pulling you under, letting you float.</p>

<div class="post-excerpt">
<p>I first read Joan Didion as a senior in high school. When you’re a teen with literary ambitions, Didion is who you turn to for inspiration. My copy of <em>Play It As It Lays</em> is well thumbed and dog-eared. On the inside of the front cover, I wrote my name along with the date I purchased it—an affectation left over from when I thought I’d turn into the kind of woman surrounded by books and great swaths of fabric covering slightly dirty windows, a tumbler of bourbon in one hand and a cigarette slowly going to ash in the other, gazing at city lights through the window.</p>

<p>Ottessa Moshfegh is comfortable with discomfort—especially yours. After running laps around the competition on the short story circuit and catching praise from the likes of Rivka Galchen for her drunken sailor novella <a href="http://www.amazon.com/McGlue-Fence-Modern-Prize-Prose/dp/1934200859"><em>McGlue</em></a>, she’s making her debut as a novelist with <a href="http://thepenguinpress.com/book/eileen-a-novel/"><em>Eileen</em></a>, out this week via Penguin. </p>

<p>Here is a joke I found on the internet that seems appropriate given what’s transpired this week. Question: What do politicians and diapers have in common? (No, not that!) Answer: They should both be changed regularly—and for the same reason. And with that, onto our favorite stories from the past week.</p>
