This overall moment for so many people would be one of unadorned contentment if not outright triumph. Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America, which comes out Tuesday, is an origin story plus an inside-the-room blow-by-blow — a book arguably only Haberman could have written. It's all but guaranteed to be a best-seller. On Amazon it already is. It's been called the book Trump fears the most — he's "terrified," said one former aide — and that's because Haberman is the reporter who knows him the best.
Here, though, at what most would consider the apex of her or maybe almost any career, Haberman fretted over a relative blip of a workaday hitch — a window into her broader current mood, some amalgam of obligation and addiction, of resignation and regret, a sense of pride but also the mounting toll that she feels due to the work that she does.
It's interesting how her surname is repeated over and over again instead of "she" like as a marketing ploy. Oops. I made a mistake there.
Ninja edit: I just did a ctrl-f. The word "Haberman" appears 78 times.
look everyone, the empty-headed stenographer has something to say!
coincidentally it centers her
I couldn't help myself - I'm reading it.
I knew it was going to be fawning but fuck me...

My eyes started rolling up into my head at the obligation and addiction part.
