    Here's a link to a previous discussion here for an interview with Klein about Wolf for anyone who's interested. Edit: Article is by Naomi Klein, not an interview

    Naomi Klein was recently on the QAnon Anonymous podcast and talked about the book and her experiences constantly being mis-identified as Naomi Wolf. It’s a great interview. I still remember...

    It’s a great interview. I still remember reading Shock Doctorine years ago.

    Explores Naomi Wolf's journey [edit: from liberal feminism] to the [edit: more alt-right kind of figure] she is today.

      Are you being sarcastic? I'm genuinely not sure. Also, I spent a good chunk of that article confusing Naomi Wolf for Michelle Wolf. Finally had to sanity check myself and breathed a sigh of relief.

    This article appears to be by Jenny Turner... but is about Noami Klein's new book Doppelganger: A Trip into the Mirror World, which is a memoir but also focuses on Noami Wolf... am I getting that...

    This article appears to be by Jenny Turner... but is about Noami Klein's new book Doppelganger: A Trip into the Mirror World, which is a memoir but also focuses on Noami Wolf... am I getting that right?

    I'm trying to figure it out so I can tag this topic properly, but even after reading it I still feel a bit confused. And TBH, I am also tempted to edit the title as well, since just having it as 'Noami Klein' is super vague and just adds to the confusion, IMO.

    Edit: I edited the title slightly to hopefully help clear up at least some of the potential confusion. Let me know if the new title is acceptable, @ignorabimus.

    p.s. Please label this comment offtopic so it doesn't distract from the on-topic discussion.

      Thank you, the new title is a lot better! LRB sadly do not seem to design their titles for referencing their articles from other websites (or other media).

        YVW. And feel free to edit the titles of any of LRB articles you submit here in the future. We're not super strict about people sticking to original titles on Tildes, so long as its to add context...
