Caplan gets the better of the exchange–by a lot. Probably because Chua inexplicably breaks kayfabe. She starts out by saying:
Amy Chua: My book isn’t about success or biology. It’s just a memoir.
Then she pivots to:
AC: My book is a bit of a spoof.
Before finally dropping character altogether:
BC: You had a schedule in the book – one that I remember had “one hour of fun family time”, and that was optional.
AC: That was a joke.
Not quite A Million Little Pieces, but still. It’s like finding out that Stone Cold and the Rock were actually drinking buddies.
