Lucky Dogs by Helen Schulman

The past few years have battered quite a lot of boldfaced names down to size. Arriving just in time to help celebrate E. Jean Carroll’s victory over Donald Trump, Helen Schulman’s latest novel is a reminder that Harvey Weinstein’s downfall was the very least he deserved.

Lucky Dogs gets at Weinstein the rapist and gaslighter, and the system that abetted him, without giving his character a name. That Schulman leaves to one of the two women on opposite sides of the unredeemable behavior that kicks the story into gear.
