LUCKY DOGS, by Helen SchulmanThat Harvey Weinstein hired a private international spy agency called Black Cube to help squash stories about his sex crimes always seemed stranger than fiction.
In an author’s note, Helen Schulman states explicitly that her seventh novel, “Lucky Dogs,” was inspired by two players in this globe-spanning chapter of the Weinstein saga.
“How could one woman do this to another woman?” Schulman had wondered, reading ragefully about the case.
The question might sound naïve: Has she not seen the foundational Hollywood text “All About Eve”?
But her imagined answer, in the form of this book, is deeply knowing, properly indignant and — maybe the best revenge — very funny.
