Age & Early Bio
Kurt Schlichter was born on 24 December 1964 in Cincinnati, Ohio. His age is 57 years as of 2021. Schlichter moved to San Mateo, California, with his family at age six. Schlichter became inclined to conservative political ideology at a very young age.
He says conservative values make more sense to him. Schlichter grew up as a proponent of free speech, a militant right-winger, and a military supporter.
In 1987, he graduated with a bachelor of arts degree in communications and political science from the University of California San Diego. During his college years, Schlichter served as an editor for California Review, the conservative student paper, and a regular columnist in The Koala, the satirical comedy college paper.
Schlichter also has a Juris Doctor degree, which he earned from Loyola Law School in 1994. Later, he received a master’s degree in strategic studies from The United States Army War College in 2011.
‘People’s Republic’
‘People’s Republic’ is Schlichter’s debut novel published on 16 September 2016. According to goodreads.com, it is a funny, frightening, and action-packed thriller novel that takes the contemporary world’s news and forecasts about the future of America. The fictional novel discusses the consequences of America’s growing political and cultural divisions that split the United States apart.
Several authors, television, and media personalities have provided outstanding reviews on Schlicher’s ‘People’s Republic.’ Jim Geraghty of National Review calls it “a surreal, fast-paced journey through a dramatically different America but less than a generation away. … Violent, imaginative, full of mordant humor and dark, gritty details, you won’t want to live in this People’s Republic…but you’ll feel a chill as you wonder how different our real future will be.”
Similarly, columnist David Limbaugh describes his novel as “a thought-provoking action thriller set against the backdrop of a shattered America.”
Furthermore, Fox News contributor and author Katie Pavlich says, “They say conservatives are terrible story tellers, but Kurt Schlichter destroys that stereotype in his new novel People’s Republic and issues a dire warning about the future of America.”
