Good news, everyone! David Remnick is going to write an Obama biography. Sounds like interesting stuff: private interviews, historical research, the signature Remnick writing style. Should be a good read, if probably not the next Game Change. The New York Times tells us all about it.
But...what's this? At the bottom? In sheepish "Correction" italics?
An earlier version of this post misquoted Mr. Remnick on his comparison between the book and a New Yorker article he had previously written. He said the book would not be a "pumped up" version of the article; he did not say that it would not be a “pimped out” version of the article.
Pimped. Out. A presidential biography, written by the editor-in-chief of The New Yorker. It's okay, Gray Lady. I wish he'd really said it too.
