Mark Bowden Swings at The Wire's David Simon
Mark Bowden writes about The Wire and its creator, David Simon in the new Atlantic. Bowden finds the show a little bleak, and isn’t happy that Simon lambasted two of his pals in a public speech about his days as a reporter at The Sun:
This is the place of H. L. Mencken, of Frank Kent, of William Manchester. It’s like you can touch things that you can be proud of. I just have to do good work for its own sake…I’m basically happy, and it’s like the least ambitious I am in my life.
