"The Mueller Report of television criticism! James Poniewozik’s
Audience of One is both damning and illuminating, a witty,
penetrating exposé of Trump’s most intimate relationship, the one
with the medium that made him."
*Emily Nussbaum, television critic for The New Yorker*
"With wit, insight, and clarity, James Poniewozik puts Trump at the
center of a series of changes that swept through American popular
culture and political systems. Poniewozik’s essential book shows
how these evolutions incubated Trumpism, even as Trump’s rise
exposed the limits and vulnerabilities of the media, which too
often found itself floundering in the face of his shameless
manipulations."
*Maureen Ryan, chief TV critic for Variety*
"Illuminating... Poniewozik is a funny, acerbic and observant
writer… [He] uses his ample comedic gifts in the service of
describing a slow-boil tragedy. If humor is the rocket of his ICBM,
the last three years of our lives are the destructive payload...
Poniewozik brings a new microscope with which to analyze the
drug-resistant bacterium that is our president. Perhaps the
greatest accomplishment of Audience of One is that it makes Trump's
presidency seem almost inevitable."
*Gary Shteyngart - The New York Times Book Review*
