The Last Magazine

By Michael Hastings

Book Overview

"The funniest, most savage takedown of the American news media since Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail '72."-- The Washington Post Michael Hastings' untimely death at the age of thirty-three rocked the journalism community. But the New York Times bestselling author of The Operators left behind an unexpected legacy: a wickedly funny novel based on Hastings's own journalistic experiences in the mid-2000s. Discovered in his files, the novel features a wet-behind-the-ears intern named Michael M. Hastings who must choose between his career and the truth. A searing portrait of print journalism's last glory days, The Last Magazine earned Hastings comparisons to Evelyn Waugh and Hunter S. Thompson and stands as a testament to one of America's most treasured reporters.
