I'd like to interrupt my usual program of relentless Mergers & Acquisitions promotion to point out that Kurt Andersen's new novel, Heyday, hits bookstores this week. I think Kurt's a genius and I loved Turn of the Century so I've been eagerly anticipating his next book for quite a while now. Even though I pre-ordered it on Amazon, I couldn't resist swiping a copy at the book party last week because I absolutely HAD TO READ IT NOW. (Delayed gratification is overrated anyway.) Not surprisingly, I'm thoroughly enjoying it.
