Today, NYT journalist and author Michael Grynbaum drops by the lounge to discuss his delicious new book, Empire of the Elite: Inside Condé Nast, the Media Dynasty That Reshaped America. We discuss GQ’s gay origins, why our generation is desperate to be Tina Brown, expense accounts, Persian cats, how Michael scored the Condé cafeteria for his book launch, Truman Capote’s failed gossip column, and ask the question on everyone's mind—will magazines ever come back? Go buy the book darling, it’s the talk of the town!
