I was pretty sad about hearing about Naomi Wolfe, so I had to Google it and realized I was thinking of Naomi Klein.
Matt Taibbi was a bit of a disappointment.
The grift is lucrative. I guess I should be surprised the number of people you can squeeze money out of it before they get wise but it just doesn't seem to run out.
You're not the first person to have that moment. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/aug/26/naomi-klein-naomi-wolf-conspiracy-theories
Holy shit, I did the same thing. I hadn't heard from Klein in a couple of years and when I read something about Wolf I was really surprised, thinking it was that No Logo writer.
I went through the exact same experience with the Klein/Wolfe mixup.
And, Klein has what sounds like a fantastic book coming out right now that was triggered by the confusion.
Check out some of her recent interviews on Qanon Anonymous, Conspirituality, and On the Media podcasts. She is a really shrewd person.
The wolf/Klien confusion is the subject of klien’s latest book, doppelgänger.
If it’s Klien it’s fine.
lol I'll use that mnemonic from now on. I didn't know it was such a common error!
The book is out, I'm definitely going to read it. Thanks!
I can’t take credit. I have up on both Naomi’s until I read the articles on Klein’s new book.
Well, it's pretty tragic for Naomi Wolf, as well. Although I'm glad we kept Klein.
