Kirn is the literary editor for GQ and a contributing editor to Time and Vanity Fair. His fiction and nonfiction work has appeared in The New Yorker and the New York Times Magazine. He's also the author of two other novels and a selection of short stories.

And Merlin's written a new guide for actors, Auditioning: An Actor-Friendly Guide.
