More Oprah-ology

May 23, 2011 by Kathleen Rooney

USA Today ran a story yesterday about the end of the Oprah Winfrey Show (and the attendant end–maybe?–of the Book Club), as well as the prospect of her developing a show for books and authors on her new cable network OWN. You can read it here and learn how Charles Dickens “let [her] down! Of all the people!” and hear me getting quoted saying the word “antithetical,” which Scott Stossel of the Atlantic uses in his quotation, too. It’s the thing to say when people ask you about Oprah, apparently.
