Noted postfeminist Katie Roiphe comes out this week with a few observations on the book Go the Fuck to Sleep, which is a sort of 2011 analogue to the popular blog-turned-book Stuff White People Like: witty, ironic yuppie fare. It’s an illustrated kids’-lit parody written in a profane bedtime-story-style rhyme; a sample, via Roiphe’s review: “The owls fly forth from the treetops. / Through the air, they soar and they sweep. / A hot crimson rage fills my heart, love. / For real, shut the fuck up and sleep.”
