Matthew Yglesias is a fellow at the Center for American Progress. His first book, with the working title Heads in the Sand: Iraq and the Strange Death of Liberal Internationalism, scheduled to be published next spring by John Wiley and co., deals with the Democratic Party's struggle to find a post-9/11 foreign policy, focusing primarily on the rise and (hopefully) fall of the liberal hawk movement.

Previously, he was a staff writer at The American Prospect and an Associate Editor at TPM Media, where he contributed to the group blogs Tapped and TPMCafe. His main blog, now at The Atlantic, has existed in various forms since the dark ages of the blogosphere in January 2002.

His writing has appeared in The Guardian, Slate, The New Republic, and The Washington Monthly, and he is a regular on BloggingHeads.tv and makes the occasional radio or television appearance.

Desperately out of touch with the American mainstream, Yglesias was born and raised in Manhattan and studied philosophy at Harvard where he was editor in chief of The Harvard Independent, a campus alternative weekly.

His latest writings can be found on the Matthew Yglesias blog.

SoCal HITS Event

By Matthew Yglesias

May 2 2008, 10:12 AM ET Comment

I'm going to be doing a reading / talk / Q&A on Thursday, May 7 at the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda, California at 7:30PM. My grasp of southern California geography is a little shaky, so I'm not really sure who that's convenient for and who it doesn't work for, but I'm not doing any other events in the area at this time so if you can make it please do. I think the folks who came out to Borders last night had a good time (maybe they'll chime in in comments and tell me I'm wrong).

UPDATE: Nixon library? Yeah, it does seem a bit weird. And yet, they asked me to come and so off I go.
