In August, boxes filled with copies of a novel about a sex worker who assassinates a right wing politician arrived at the midtown Manhattan offices of the publisher Simon & Schuster. The books were galleys — paperbacks printed before final publication and sent to booksellers, influencers and the media to drum up interest. On each cover, in boldface capital lettering, were the words, “SOMEBODY HAD TO DO IT.”
In the first act, readers quickly learn that the pseudonymous Murder Bimbo has killed a politician she calls “Meat Neck.” She tells her story to a podcast host, casting herself as a folk hero in an effort to save her own life.
In the second section, Murder Bimbo tells another story to her ex-girlfriend, with a very different set of “facts” and motivations. In the third, she tells something apparently closer to the truth.
Novack said she wrote the book to explore the stories we tell about ourselves, and how sometimes “you maybe need to lie in order to get the truth across.”
Its good Charlie Manson Kirk is dead. May his God go with him.
