My Take
Michael Wolff is the kind of writer who makes me uneasy and curious in equal measure, which is exactly why I keep reading him. He turned access into a weapon with Fire and Fury, and whatever you think of his methods, few journalists capture the texture of a chaotic room as vividly. The earlier Burn Rate, a confession of his own dot-com failure, reveals a man unafraid to make himself the cautionary tale. Two National Magazine Awards confirm the craft is real. I admire his nerve more than I trust his certainty, and honestly, that tension is what good provocateurs are for.
