FRANK RICH: WRITER
Notes for an Op-Ed Column


Rich gives us one of the single legal-pad pages of impossibly dense notes (jokingly referred to as “hieroglyphics” by his New York Times colleagues) he generates for every op-ed column. Read the column.

Frank Rich is currently an op-ed columnist for The New York Times, for which he served as chief theater critic from 1980 to 1993. His books include the memoir Ghost Light, Hot Seat: Theater Criticism for The New York Times, 1980–1993, and The Theater Art of Boris Aronson. Rich, who lives in New York City, received the James Aronson Award for Social Justice Journalism in 2004 and a GLAAD Media Award in 2005. Later this year, Penguin will publish his book about the effect of the 9/11 attacks on American life.
