- Actually, I would've thought if any Manhattan theater might've been doing decent business with the "Melania" doc, it would've been one in Times Square. A lot of out-of-town tourists, I figured, and they might be from MAGA country. There's even an Applebee's in Times Square. But, uhm, I guess not...

- 4/5 stars: "Not quite as good as 'Power of the Dog,' Winslow's first in this trilogy, but still a gripping read. Looking forward to reading 'The Border' around a year from now. I only read these novels when I'm wintering down in Mexico. You know, for atmosphere." 💙📚 www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
