The publishing industry hasn't produced a must-read adult book in several years, but that drought came to an end in the first week of January with Henry Holt's Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House by Michael Wolff. The title was originally set to publish January 9, but Holt's rollout plans were overwhelmed by fast-moving events that began January 3 with the publication of highlights from the embargoed book by the Guardian. The story included a description of an incident in which former Trump strategist Steve Bannon referred to a meeting during the 2016 campaign between Donald Trump Jr. and a group of Russians as "unpatriotic" and "treasonous."
