Douthat, the co-author of Grand New Party: How Republicans Can Win the Working Class and Save the American Dream, blogs and writes for the Atlantic and is an occasional Slate contributor. Douthat has offered some guidance on his blog on how to pronounce his name. In case the phonetic spelling still leaves you confused, Slate asked Douthat to settle the score on tape.
