A Cover, a Title, and a Pub Date

Things are officially Official with The Capitol now, as we’ve got an official cover release from Dutton Books over on their Instagram page, with an official on sale date from Penguin Random House of June 2, 2026.

And as you can see, we’ve also got an official title for it. It was my editor who suggested swapping out my placeholder subtitle (the reliable but not terribly exciting An American Biography) with The Surprising Biography of an American Building, which I love and is *so* much more fun and much better reflects what I’m hoping to do with this unconventional biography.

Anyway, the listing for it is already showing up across several platforms, and it’s available for preorder from your favorite bookstore. You can also check out its official page on the Penguin Random House website for more information. And I thank you.
