Take Up Space

ADVANCE PRAISE FOR TAKE UP SPACE “In the pages of Take Up Space, the editors of New York Magazine eloquently explore AOC’s ascension within our public imagination, driving readers of all ages to discern whether we’re championing progress or blocking change. Through a mix of narrative and graphic essays and photos, this polychromatic biography outlines how Representative Ocasio-Cortez made an enduring mark on the political discourse and our cultural conversation… this robust four-part book makes a compelling case for why AOC is the type of leader the nation needs here and now… a comprehensive but addictively accessible tome.” —Oprah Daily “This book should have been titled Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez But Were Afraid to Ask.” —The Guardian “A fully immersive, creatively formatted appreciation for an indefatigable politician and people’s champion… The most complete picture we will likely have until she writes a memoir.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “Fans of the congresswoman will delight in this stylish tribute.” —Publishers Weekly

Founded by Clay Felker and Milton Glaser in 1968, New York was one of the earliest (and loudest) proponents of the New Journalism, launching the careers of Gloria Steinem, Tom Wolfe, Jimmy Breslin, Nora Ephron, and many others. More recently, New York has won thirty-six National Magazine Awards in the past two decades—more than any other magazine—and six General Excellence awards. The Washington Post has called it “the nation’s best and most imitated city magazine.”
