By Kurt Andersen
"Cofounder of "Spy", former editor in chief of "New York" magazine, and cocreator and host of the award-winning Public Radio program "Studio 360", Andersen knows his way around the zeitgeist; just take a look at his two novels, "Turn of the Century" (which drew comparisons to "Bonfire of the Vanities") and the "New York Times" best-selling "Heyday". Here he returns with another cultural study, this one featuring an eminent sixtyish judge who withdraws from consideration for a Supreme Court seat because of events in her youth. Revelations about those events will tell us as much about the country as they do about the judge. With a six-city tour, an NPR campaign, a custom Facebook page, early pitches to Goodreads and LibraryThing, book club outreach, and even a thriller platform (that says something); this will be big."
