Brad Listi
Brad Listi is an American author. His first novel, Attention. Deficit. Disorder., was published by Simon & Schuster in February 2006, and went on to become a Los Angeles Times Bestseller.[1] His second book, co-authored with Justin Benton, is called "Board," an experimental work of nonfiction literary collage, published by TNB Books.
He is the founding editor of the online culture magazine and literary collective, The Nervous Breakdown.[2] The Nervous Breakdown now has more than 700 contributors and featured authors. The site also has its own monthly book club, called The TNB Book Club. And it has a publishing imprint as well, called TNB Books.[3]
In 2011, Listi launched an author interview podcast called 'Otherppl with Brad Listi.' The show features in-depth interviews with contemporary authors. The editors at McSweeney's Internet Tendency included the podcast in its October 2011 'McSweeney's Recommends' column, calling it "funny, pointed, and thought provoking."[4] For a span of several months in 2012-13, the show also included its own critic, pseudonymously named Max Millwood. Millwood reviewed each episode of Otherppl, and occasionally Listi featured and responded to Millwood's thoughts on the show.
Listi currently lives in Los Angeles, CA with his wife and two children. He has taught creative writing at Santa Monica College.[5]
