	Heyday by Kurt Andersen: Reviews
		Some writers of period fiction make big, messy piles of their facts; Andersen stitches his so seamlessly into his prose you almost don't realize you're learning stuff...The results are so subtly effective, you feel a little like you've found a long-lost literary treasure that was actually written more than 150 years ago.
		Andersen's novel is a major historical work, of lore and wisdom, irony and humor-- the kind of historical novel that has always been the most satisfying to read.
		Andersen is so knowledgeable that he can probably do a minute-by-minute timeline of [1848], and so enthusiastic about his subject that readers will probably gladly sign up for the history lesson.

	Amazon.com: Heyday: A Novel: Books: Kurt Andersen
		Andersen's second novel is more than just a love story or a history lesson (though there are details included that make it clear how much research Andersen did); it's a true novel of ideas.
		Kurt Andersen is best known for his previous novel (the irreverent, postmillennial Turn of the Century), his role as cofounder and editor of the now-defunct Spy magazine, and as host of public radio's Studio 360.
		And as someone who is a student of history of the west, Andersen has done his research, this is a true historical novel in that it is true to the time period.

	Salon Media \| Media man (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Andersen, 45, was the editor of New York magazine from 1994 until 1996, when he was fired after Henry Kravis, a partner in New York's parent company, reportedly had had enough of the magazine's aggressive business coverage.
		Andersen co-wrote a satiric stage review, has written television pilots for NBC and ABC and, before founding Spy, was Time's architecture critic; next year he hosts an hour-long Public Radio show, "Studio 360," about art and culture.
		Andersen is, of course, the ultimate media insider, and so is nicely poised to deliver genuine inside dope.

	MetroActive Books \| Kurt Andersen
		Kurt Andersen's epochal Turn of the Century may be the first contemporary novel to treat bicoastalism as a true neurotic disorder.
		Andersen's characters, globe-trotting lapsed liberals all, seem constantly plagued by the fear that they're somehow not in the center of things, both metaphorically and geographically, largely because in the world of the novel there is no center anymore.
		Indeed, Andersen's hilarious venom is directed more at the infotainment industry itself than at those caught up in it, even when they become utterly corrupted by it.

	I Want Media - Media People: Kurt Andersen
		Kurt Andersen is host of "Studio 360," a pop-culture show heard on more than 100 radio stations across the country.
		Andersen: I think The New York Times is utterly earning its reputation as the best news organization in the world.
		Andersen: One [cause] is the risk-averse corporate magazine culture that seemed to descend in the last 10 to 15 years -- the triumph of nervous prudence over roll-the-dice, stay-the-course vision, a trend probably exacerbated by the consolidation of media companies in which magazine businesses came to seem increasingly pipsqueaky and not worth the trouble.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Turn of the Century
		Kurt Andersen is a columnist for The New Yorker.
		One of the more radical conjectures of Kurt Andersen's brilliantly funny, semi-speculative millennial novel, Turn of the Century, is that nothing terrible happens on January 1, 2000.
		It's failures of communication Andersen is concerned with, and the havoc that results from the age-old human tendency to confuse fact and fiction.
