Volkswagen is having a moment. Not a good moment, but it's certainly a moment. VW owners are glaring at their vehicles with suspicion after it was revealed the automaker's diesel vehicles were designed to cheat on emissions tests.
Hopefully, VW is not capturing its moment with a selfie because that could be deadly. Plus, selfies are so easy to take, a monkey can do it and maybe even make some money from it.
This hour on our weekly cultural roundtable The Nose, we also discuss literary impersonation. Did you know that the byline on this post is actually a pseudonym? No, not really, but how can you tell?
GUESTS:
- Tracy Wu-Fastenberg - Director of Development at the Mark Twain House and Museum
- Rand Richards Cooper - Author, essayist, and restaurant critic for The New York Times
