Former Wonkette Ana Marie Cox’s first book Dog Days is among the funniest novels I’ve read in a long time. Cox gives her readers the insider’s-eye-view of two worlds: D.C. and the blogosphere as only a wildly successful political blogger can.
The novel is based very loosely on the adventures of Jessica Cutler, who enthralled the famous-for-D.C. types with her Capitol Hill sexcapades which are archived here and have earned her a book deal.
But despite its prurient theme, I’d say this book is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the blogosphere and communications. It’s definitely not a how-to manual, nor is it a substitute for one but you’ll pick up a lot of information in a vividly entertaining way.
