In a prefatory statement, Klein (Anonymous) states that although a few of the journalists who make cameo appearances are real, all of the other characters are fictional. Since the book was published, many analyses have aligned the books’ characters—including Burton— with the real participants in the Clinton campaign.
Who should be the most angry at Klein for the way (s)he is portrayed in the book?? Obviously we know who the Stantons are, so if you discuss one of them, you need to really work hard to go beyond the obvious. Try to branch out a bit. You may have to Google to find out who the other players are alleged to be. Remember to cite from the final chapters.
I do expect this final entry to demonstrate that you have learned a bit about the fine art of literary analysis. It will count as two quiz grades.
