Reaching for Utopia brings together insightful essays and profiles
chronicling the remarkable political and cultural transformations
of the last decade - from the fall of Gordon Brown, to the rise of
Corbyn and the radical left, to Brexit. Cowley is fascinated by the
men and women who are creating the history of our era as well as
those who document it. He has met and interviewed nearly all the
major political players shaping and changing the way we live today.
The book features fascinating, wide-ranging narrative profiles of
Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, Ed Miliband, Jeremy Corbyn, Alex Salmond,
Nigel Farage, David Cameron, George Osborne and Theresa May. Cowley
is unusual in having access to party leaders and prime ministers on
both the left and right. The book also features penetrating essays
on writers such as George Orwell, John le Carre, Kazuo Insiguro,
and Ian McEwan, personal essays, an investigation into the
so-called Brexit Murder, and a striking conversation with the
political philosopher Michael Sandel. Cowley is one of the most
influential journalists in Britain. He is notable for being both a
political and literary journalist. And he also writes about sport,
especially football, and covered the 2006 World Cup in Germany for
the Observer. He has been widely credited with transforming the
fortunes of the New Statesman, which in 2017 has recorded its
highest print circulation for nearly 40 years as well as becoming a
major digital title with rapidly growing online profile. According
to the European Press Prize, 'Cowley has succeeded in revitalising
the New Statesman and re-establishing its position as an
influential political and cultural weekly. He has given the New
Statesman an edge and a relevance to current affairs it hasn't had
for years.' In 2017, at the British Society of Magazine Editors
awards, Cowley won the editor of the year award (politics and
current affairs) for the third time. In 2018, he launched New
Statesman America.
