Rezensionen
"Juicy, illuminating, and relentless in its reporting, making it a must read for anyone fascinated by media and its leviathans."-Town & Country

"The newest entry in the small but mesmerizing genre you might call Condé lit...this reported saga doubles as a shrewd cultural history of the 20th century."-New York Magazine

"The technical word for this book is juicy."-Christian Lorentzen, The New York Times Book Review

"Grynbaum's book has all the goods to induce mania in anyone with aspirations to work in media...
Ultimately, what do we long for when we long for the golden age of Condé Nast? It is the dream of having money - and taste."-Rachel Tashjian, Washington Post

"Grynbaum, a veteran reporter for the New York Times, fills his chronicle of Newhouse's half-century at the helm of the legendary publisher with enough gossip and arcana to satisfy even the most devoted of Condé Nast obsessives."-James Tarmy, Bloomberg

"Empire of the Elite captures the inexorable power of money, whether it's a matter of fantasy or economy." -The New Yorker

"A delightful and fascinating anthropological study of American culture in the '80s and '90s through the lens of Conde Nast."-Vogue, "The Run-Through"

"A definitive account of a media titan."
-Publishers Weekly

"A well-crafted portrait of a publishing house whose fortunes reflect those of the magazine industry as a whole."-Kirkus

"An anecdotal feast."-Peter Osnos, founder and editor at large of PublicAffairs books

"I loved this gorgeous romp through a lost world, and the emperors and empresses who made it. Mike Grynbaum is the perfect smart and wry chronicler of that age of haute hubris, which has been replaced with something a lot less spirited and fun. This book should be served with cocktails and a cackle."-Marina Hyde, columnist, The Guardian, co-host, The Rest Is Entertainment

"As someone who grew up worshipping several Condé Nast titles and using them to become an adult, I've been waiting for a book like Empire of the Elite for decades. Every page is entertaining, smart, and generous toward the many players in this unique saga. Grynbaum also has a wicked sense of humor that made me grin and sometimes even helplessly laugh."
-Gary Shteyngart, author, Super Sad True Love Story
