The genre-defining works of novelist-playwright Ira Levin (1929-2007) include such indelible titles as Rosemary's Baby, The Stepford Wives, The Boys from Brazil, and Deathtrap--the fifth longest-running play in Broadway history. At home in nearly every genre--horror (Rosemary's Baby), crime (Edgar-winning A Kiss Before Dying), science fiction (This Perfect Day), comedy (No Time For Sergeants), even a Broadway musical (Drat! The Cat!)--Levin's enduring works continue to resonate with readers and audiences, serving as iconic cultural and creative touchstones. Learn more at Levin's official website, IraLevin.org.

Reviews for This Perfect Day

"""Will make the hairs on your neck rise up and tremble."" -- ""Cleveland Plain Dealer"" ""A futuristic nightmare."" -- ""New York Times"" ""A superb tale of a future where artificial intelligence rules."" -- ""Mal Warwick on Books"" ""An exceptionally serious contribution to the analysis of our own world."" -- ""Dimensions"" ""In my view, This Perfect Day outshines Huxley's Brave New World and Orwell's great 1984 in a number of ways. First of all, in the greater political and cultural perspicacity...Secondly, Levin's is superior...in all the elements of novel-building: in plot, stylistic virtuosity, and characterization."" -- ""Ralph Raico, founder of the New Individualist Review"" ""Ira Levin must have built an actual time machine and moved to 2020, where he rented an apartment and wrote the manuscript for This Perfect Day with one eye on cable news. There can be no other possible explanation."" -- ""GeekyDomain.com"" ""Ira Levin's Brave New World."" -- ""New York Times Book Review"" ""Marvelously entertaining. A cross between Brave New World and Doctor Who."" -- ""Look magazine"" ""Outshines Orwell's 1984."" -- ""Book Week"" ""The excitement never falters."" -- ""Publishers Weekly"" ""The same riveting directness that made Rosemary's Baby a terrifying reality."" -- ""Los Angeles Herald Examiner"""
