Books
[edit]Baldwin's most recent book, “Everything Now: Lessons from the City-State of Los Angeles,” (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, June 2021) was a Los Angeles Times bestseller,[2] and it won a gold medal at the 2022 California Book Awards.[3] The New York Times Book Review noted Baldwin “may have written the perfect book about Los Angeles.”[4]
Baldwin is the author of a memoir Paris, I Love You But You’re Bringing Me Down (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, May 2012) based on the time he and his wife spent living in France while he worked in an unnamed advertising agency. It was named one of the Top 10 Travel Books of Spring 2012[5] by Publishers Weekly and earned positive reviews citing its humor and charm.[6]
Baldwin's second novel, The Last Kid Left (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2017) was one of NPR's Great Reads of 2017.[7] His debut novel, You Lost Me There (Riverhead Books, August 2010) was a New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice and an NPR Best Book of 2010: "A stunning debut… You Lost Me There is, finally, a wise book, the kind that eludes many authors twice Baldwin’s age... Profound, affecting, and true."[8]
