Remember earlier this month, when I told you about a new anonymously written novel titled O: A Presidential Novel about Obama's 2012 presidential run? I was really excited to read it.

But now, the author has been kinda-sorta revealed to be John McCain speechwriter/Faith of My Fathers cowriter Mark Salter, and I'm just not that interested anymore. Put simply: Salter's just not that good a writer, and I was hoping that this Anonymous, like the Primary Colors Anonymous, would be a member of the press. (Members of the campaign press get all the good gossip, and we almost never get to hear it.)

Now that I know the author is so unabashedly partisan, I'm much less likely to read the book; it looks like Game Change is still as close as we're going to get to an Obama-starring gossipy narrative for a while yet.
