Dirty Laundry: A One-Sided Literary Feud by Stephen Trombley, author of All That Summer She Was Mad
Afarin Majidi’s memoir Writing and Madness in a Time of Terror is a history of hurt. It is also a remarkable testament to overcoming.

Why Is Everyone Pretending that Lana del Rey and Harvey Weinstein Didn’t Fuck?
I got sweet taste for men who're older.
It's always been so it's no surprise.
Harvey's in the sky with diamonds
And it's making me crazy.
All he wants to do is party with his pretty baby.
Come on baby, let's ride.
We can escape to the great sunshine.
I know your wife and she wouldn't mind.
We made it out to the other side.
-Lana del Rey, “Cola”
