I went to see Kurt Andersen last night at Politics and Prose. He’s the host of Studio 360 and one of the founders of Spy.

I’m about halfway through Heyday his latest book which is a rollicking historical novel set in 1848. I highly recommend it. Even if you’re not a history nut like me, I think you might enjoy it.

The year 1848 is one of those years where it seems like history went into overdrive, and everything changed so quickly. I don’t think we’ve had a year like that since 1968. I particularly like how Andersen makes you feel like you’re in an age where anything is possible. You can't help feeling that you want to go back in time.
