The Vanity Fair Diaries: 1983 - 1992 by Tina Brown

4.0

---

I really love reading anything Tina Brown writes, and listening to the audiobook is like having a gossip session with your smartest and cattiest friend. It's kind of surreal to be immersed in the unbridled optimism of that era, especially now, but it's also a refreshing escape. She's great at making the minutiae of anything seem not only vitally important but wildly interesting. I started this book with a vague familiarity with Vanity Fair and ended it extremely invested in everything that's ever happened at Conde Nast, and I can tell that this will be a repeat read for me.
