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. 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, which he developed after gaining a substantial fan following by blogging on MySpace. 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. 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." For a span of several months in 2012-13, the show also included its own critic, pseudonymously named Max Millwood. [More at Wikipedia]
