# Out on a Limb: Selected Writing, 1989-2021 - Hardcover

by **Andrew Sullivan** (Author)

**Andrew Sullivan, "one of the most influential journalists of the last three decades" (_The New York Times)_ and founding editor of _The Daily Dish_ presents a collection of 60 his most iconic and powerful essays of social and political commentary from _The New Republic_, _The Atlantic_, _The New York Times Magazine_, _New York_ magazine, and more.**

Over the course of his career, Andrew Sullivan has never shied away from staking out bold positions on social and political issues. A fiercely independent conservative, in 1989 he wrote the first national cover story in favor of marriage equality, and then an essay, "The Politics of Homosexuality," in _The New Republic_ in 1993, an article called the most consequential of the decade in the gay rights movement. A pioneer of online journalism, he started blogging in 2000 and helped define the new medium with his blog, _The Daily Dish_. In 2007, he was one of the first political writers to champion the presidential campaign of Barack Obama, and his cover story for _The Atlantic_, "Why Obama Matters," was seen as a milestone in that campaign's messaging. In the past five years, he has proved a vocal foe both of Donald Trump and of wokeness on the left. Loved and loathed by both left and right, Sullivan is in a tribe of one.

Bold, timely, and thought-provoking, this collection of "trenchant observations from an influential journalist" (_Kirkus Reviews_) on culture, politics, religion, and philosophy demonstrates why he continues to be ranked among the most intriguing and important public intellectuals in US media.
