Winner gets a free Nextbook Press book appropriate to his or her comment (if he or she emails me at [email protected] with his or her mailing address).

This week’s winner is “Jojo Lolo,” who riffed off an aside in Liel Leibovitz’ appreciation of the HBO series Veep:

“The one about the young woman who is a little bit lost, struggling to land her dream job, and swatting her way through a predatory big city that is stifling and dominated by men”?



Daenaris in Game of Thrones?

On the Internet, we call this WIN.

Lolo gets a copy of Ruth Wisse’s Jews and Power, because one day we’re bound to learn that one of the families of Westeros is Jewish (probably the Lannisters, since they always pay their debts).
