Going into the weekend I had never heard of Katy Tur. But watching CBS Sunday Morning, I saw a story on her and her new memoir, which is about her life as the child of news reporters. I also learned that she is married to Tony Dokoupil, an anchor on CBS Mornings. This seemed a little odd, that the network was doing a story on the wife of one of its employees. The memoir, I should add, includes revelations about her abusive father who, in later life, transitioned as a woman.
Then in the afternoon, I picked up the New York Times Book Review and found that the weekly By the Book interview was with Katy Tur. When asked what contemporary writers she admired, she mentioned, among others, Tony Dokoupil.
This morning I turned on CBS Mornings, with Gayle King, Nate Burleson, and Tony Dokoupil, thinking the first two might mention to the third the Sunday appearances of his wife, maybe even razz him a little about them. No, King said they would have a story about her.
