About the Author
Mark Leibovich is a renowned American journalist and author celebrated for his incisive, satirical dissections of Washington, D.C.'s political elite and the cult of celebrity that permeates the nation's capital. A former staff writer for The New York Times Magazine and currently a contributing writer at The Atlantic, Leibovich brings a sharp wit and unflinching honesty to his work, exposing the absurdities and hypocrisies of power brokers, lobbyists, and media insiders. His breakthrough book, This Town: Two Parties and a Funeral--Plus Plenty of Valet Parking!--in America's Gilded Capital, became a New York Times bestseller, earning praise for its hilarious yet damning portrait of a town obsessed with status and self-promotion. With a career spanning over two decades, Leibovich continues to influence political discourse through his profiles, essays, and commentary that blend humor with profound insight into American democracy's underbelly.
