He is known for his profiles on political and media figures. He also writes the ''Times'' magazine's "Your Fellow Americans" column about politics, media, and public life. ==Career== Leibovich was previously a national political correspondent in the ''New York Times'' Washington Bureau. He came to the Times in 2006 from the ''Washington Post'', where he spent nine years, first covering the national technology sector for the ''Post''s business section, then serving as the lead political writer for the paper's style section. Leibovich previously worked at ''The San Jose Mercury News''. He is also the author of ''This Town: Two Parties and a Funeral-Plus, Plenty of Valet Parking!-in America's Gilded Capital''. The book debuted at #1 on the New York Times non-fiction bestseller list in July 2013, and remained on the Times best-seller list for 12 weeks.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nytimes.com/best-sellers-books/2013-09-15/overview.html )〕 Leibovich discussed "This Town" on the “The Daily Show” with Jon Stewart, ABC’s “This Week” with George Stephanopoulos, Charlie Rose, PBS’s Moyers and Company and NPR’s “Weekend Edition". He also appeared as a contestant on NPR’s “Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me”. In a February 2014 edition of Jeopardy!! This Town was the answer to a clue in a category titled “2013 Bestsellers”. In advance of its July 2013 release, Politico published an article describing ''This Town'' as a "chronicle" of the "incestuous ecology of insider Washington." Leibovich, according to the story, is nicknamed "Leibo," and the book's original sub-title was "The Way it Works in Suck Up City." Fareed Zakaria as reviewer for Washington Post praises it as "hottest political book of the summer", containing " juicy anecdotes" and a tell-tale core of "corruption and dysfunction". Richard McGregor of the Financial Times described Leibovich as “like a modern-day Balzac.” In his book review for the New York Times, novelist Christopher Buckley described ''This Town'' as a series of “mini-masterpieces of politico-anthropological sociology." The Economist said This Town “may be the most pitiless examination of America’s permanent political class that has ever been conducted.” ''This Town'' was released in paperback in April 2014 in conjunction with the annual White House Correspondents Dinner, which Leibovich has described as “an abomination.” The book attracted controversy in 2011 when an aide to Representative Darrell Issa was fired for sharing reporters’ e-mails with Leibovich without their knowledge. In addition to his political writing, Leibovich also authored ''The New Imperialists'', a collection of profiles of technology pioneers. ''Citizens of the Green Room'', an anthology of Leibovich’s profiles in the ''New York Times'' and ''Washington Post'', will be published in November 2014 by Blue Rider Press Leibovich appears frequently as a guest on MSNBC’s ''Morning Joe'', NPR’s ''On the Media'', and other public affairs programs. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mark Leibovich」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
