Dr. Kramer hosted the nationally syndicated public radio program The Infinite Mind and has appeared on the major broadcast news and talk shows, including Today, Good Morning America, The Oprah Winfrey Show, Charlie Rose, and Fresh Air. His essays, op-eds, and book reviews have appeared in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and elsewhere. For nearly forty years, Dr. Kramer taught and practiced psychiatry in Providence, Rhode Island. He now writes full time and is Emeritus Professor of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at Brown University.

“Best known for his landmark 1993 Listening to Prozac, psychiatrist and psychotherapist Kramer opens his comedic mystery and political satire with “Great Man,” a vainglorious, lying, bullying national leader (think Donald Trump), found dead in his therapist’s office. Through his big-hearted, insightful narrator, therapist Henry Farber, Kramer holds up a lens to the shape-shifting distortions of lies. Death of the Great Man is a remarkably topical novel that is full of wit and insight.”
