Mark Singer

Born in Tulsa, Mark Singer was hired at The New Yorker two years after completing his undergraduate degree from Yale; he has worked there ever since. Most of his six books originated as articles in the magazine, including 2016’s Trump and Me, which expands on his 1997 profile of Donald Trump. “What most people would find unpleasantly stimulating somehow engenders in him a soothing narcotic effect,” Singer wrote of Trump.
