Brad Listi

Brad Listi is an American author. His first novel, Attention. Deficit. Disorder., was published by Simon & Schuster in February 2006, and became a Los Angeles Times Bestseller.[1] His second book, Board, co-authored with Justin Benton, is an experimental nonfiction literary collage published by TNB Books, the publishing imprint of the online culture magazine and literary collective The Nervous Breakdown,[2] of which Listi is the founding editor. TNB has more than 700 contributors and featured authors and a monthly book club, the TNB Book Club.

In 2011, Listi launched the podcast "Otherppl with Brad Listi", which features in-depth interviews with contemporary authors. McSweeney's Internet Tendency included the podcast in its October 2011 McSweeney's Recommends column, calling it "funny, pointed, and thought provoking."[3] For several months in 2012-13, the show also included its own pseudonymous critic, Max Millwood. Millwood reviewed each episode of Otherppl and Listi occasionally responded to Millwood's thoughts on the show.

Listi lives in Los Angeles with his wife and two children. He has taught creative writing at Santa Monica College.[4]
