Michael Lewis
Michael Lewis, a New Orleans native, graduated from Princeton and received his Master's degree from the London School of Economics. He moved to New York in 1985 to train as a bond salesman for Salomon Brothers; the experience gave him a first-hand look at the cutthroat culture of 1980s-era Wall Street. After training Lewis returned to London and spent three years working for Salomon, eventually quitting to write a nonfiction account of his experiences in the financial industry. The resulting book, "Liar's Poker," was published to wide acclaim in 1989. His other books include "Trail Fever," an account of the 1996 presidential campaign; "The Next Thing" (1999), a chronicle of the tech boom in Silicon Valley; "The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine" (2010), an investigation of the housing and credit bubble; and "Boomerang: Travels in the New Third World" (2011), a look at the global impact of the credit crisis. His 2003 book "Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game" became a 2011 movie starring Brad Pitt. Lewis is a contributing editor at Vanity Fair, and has written for The New York Times Magazine, Slate, Bloomberg and The New Republic. He lives in Berkeley, California with his wife, former MTV reporter Tabitha Soren, with whom he has three children.
