NYT Critic Kakutani's ‘The Death of Truth' Hits Trump, 'Fringe Right'

For years, Michiko Kakutani was the most feared and revered New York Times book critic. Now the reviewer becomes the reviewed with her new book with a self-explanatory title: The Death of Truth – Notes on Falsehood in the Age of Trump. On the plus side, it’s short.
