Too Famous

The bestselling author of Fire and Fury is once again coming for some of the largest power brokers in America as he brings to light their lives, careers, and always equivocal end games.
Through these brilliant and biting profiles, Michael Wolff, the man Kurt Andersen once lauded as a “vivid, New Journalistic, fiction-like writer who calls a spade a spade,” crafts a mesmerizing portrait of the hubris, overreach, and frequent destruction by major public figures from the Clinton years through the Trump years. This is an examination of how the quest for fame and notoriety became the driving force of culture and politics, the drug that alters all public personalities. And how their need, their desperation, their ruthlessness became the toxic grease that keeps the world spinning.

This collection includes Wolff’s dynamic coverage of Rupert Murdoch, Andrew Cuomo, Martha Stewart, Michael Bloomberg, Tina Brown, and Roger Ailes, to list a few, as well as new and unreleased articles about Jeffrey Epstein, Rudy Giuliani, Jared Kushner, Ronan Farrow and more. A singular figure in the media, this is a reminder, as Michelle Cottle once put it, that Wolff's “quick wit, dizzying writing style, and willingness to say absolutely anything about anybody made his column a must-read."

If you can judge a book by its enemies, then this is a must-read.
