Opinion Writing & Reviews — a primer

Wesley Morris’s review of The Help won him his first Pulitzer for the Boston Globe. And the NYer critic Doreen St. Felix’s piece about Meghan Markle’s mom earned her a second National Magazine Award for criticism. (Each was part of a package of three stories.)

For more reviews, read anything by the late Pauline Kael (she published several anthologies of her work). Her salty, negative reviews were legendary for the New Yorker and other publications.
