Homoeroticism. Incest. Bestiality.
In this week's The New Yorker, Lauren Collins does the unimaginable: She reads Scooter Libby's novel, The Apprentice.
No, Donald Trump is not the central character. But if you think Libby's various tales to Patrick Fitzgerald are weird, wait til you get a load of what The New Yorker learned from his novel.
Sex with bears? Why sure:
At age ten the madam put the child in a cage with a bear trained to couple with young girls so the girls would be frigid and not fall in love with their patrons. They fed her through the bars and aroused the bear with a stick when it seemed to lose interest.
The Apprentice, by I. Lewis 'Scooter' Libby
Make sure you
read the whole column. It's a hoot.
The Apprentice is currently #271 on Amazon's books list.
Oh, by the way, the question posed in this diary's title?
'The answer, reader, is yes.'
