Book Synopsis

Dispatches from the everyday adventures of two millennial New Yorkers. An Atlantic Edition, featuring long-form journalism by Atlantic writers, drawn from contemporary articles or classic storytelling from the magazine's 165-year archive.

Welcome to the world of Lizzie and Kaitlyn: small parties, weird dinners, and aimless evenings in New York City. Join Lizzie and Kaitlyn as they recap getting together and going nowhere in chatty prose rich with niche references about New York and the internet alike. Take the Q train to Coney Island, an Uber to eat Garbage Plates (a Western New York delicacy), or a walk to a Crown Heights birthday party. Eclectic and endlessly funny, On Nobody Famous used to be a Substack that turned into an Atlantic newsletter and is now a literary collection of the lives of nobody all that famous.

Review Quotes

"[On Nobody Famous] captures the idiosyncrasies of regular-degulars living in New York City in a way like HBO's High Maintenance or How To With John Wilson: not in big bursts of glamor, but in the tiny moments of absurdity." --Sophia June, Nylon

"Lizzie Plaugic and Kaitlin Tiffany [...] run around New York [...] capturing the city with observational humor that's a treat to read." --Sophia June, Nylon
