I’m a book critic for NPR and I write about arts and culture for the New York Times and Financial Times. I’ve also written about language, politics, and style for the Guardian, Washington Post, Slate, New York Times Magazine, Atlantic, Times Literary Supplement, and lots of other outlets.
You can find me on Twitter here and reach me via email at annalisa.quinn [at] gmail.com.
