Meghan O’Rourke Envy

The fine folks at Gawker have a longish essay trying to figure out “Why People Hate Meghan O’Rourke.” Or, more precisely, why they find it annoying that an attractive young Yale graduate who has had prestigious writing gigs at The New Yorker, Paris Review, and Slate is getting her first book of poetry feted in The New York Times Review of Books.

This would seem to be a question that answers itself, no?

About the Author: James Joyner is the publisher of Outside the Beltway and the managing editor of the Atlantic Council. He's a former Army officer, Desert Storm vet, and college professor with a PhD in political science from The University of Alabama. He lives just outside the Beltway in Alexandria, Virginia with his wife and infant daughter.
