A shitty narrator can quickly take you out of the audiobook experience. But Percival Everett's "James" is narrated by Dominic Hoffman, and he does a masterful job. So masterful, that I'm tempted to purchase books on audible just off the strength of his involvement.

If the Depp-Heard fiasco didn't, the Blake Lively smear campaign should drive home an important media literacy lesson that I'm afraid many are missing: when it seems like everybody is suddenly talking about something, consider the possibility that the viral moment was engineered.
