Kurt Andersen’s “inventive, fun” (New York Times) new bestseller is The Breakup, “a one-of-a-kind book that only this writer could produce" (Chicago Tribune), ”a brilliant" (Jon Meacham) and "beautifully written, harrowing and profound social satire set in the near future” (Anne Lamott) after a civil war and breakup of the United States. His previous bestselling novels include True Believers, Heyday, and Turn of the Century, and his most recent nonfiction books, Evil Geniuses and Fantasyland, were also Times bestsellers. Andersen co-created and co-wrote the critically acclaimed satirical dystopian series Command Z (2023) with Steven Soderbergh. He hosted the Peabody Award-winning public radio program Studio 360 for 20 years, co-founded Spy magazine, was a columnist and critic for The New Yorker and Time, and editor-in-chief of New York.
