Seth writes frequently for "The New York Times" on travel and entertainment. He lives in New York City with his wife and their two teenage children.

Review :
"Fans of Tom Wolfe and Jonathan Franzen will revel in this zesty tale of penthouse envy and dot-com detumescence set in Manhattan's lofty world of up-and-coming millionaires and down-and-out billionaires.... From Lucinda's IM-speak dialogue to Lily's couturier wardrobe, Margolis adroitly targets New York society's egregious excesses with laser-like accuracy." -"Booklist" "Looking for fun? Seth Margolis delivers with the dishy "Closing Costs", because in New York, it's not so much about what you do, who you date or even how you look--it's about where you live .[Margolis is] a very funny chronicler of this absurdity, in a piece of fiction, no less." -"New York"" Post" "The well-drawn characters complement Margolis's wry observations on Manhattan life and the ups and downs of marriage and career it will certainly resonate with New Yorkers." -"Publishers Weekly" "Fans of Tom Wolfe and Jonathan Franzen will revel in this zesty tale of penthouse envy and dot-com detumescence set in Manhattan's lofty world of up-and-coming millionaires and down-and-out billionaires .
