Adam Kirsch is the book critic of the New York Sun. He was previously the assistant literary editor for The New Republic, “no small achievement for a writer in his 20s.” [1] Richard John Neuhaus writing in First Things called Kirsch “a literary critic of some distinction.” [2] Writing in The Nation, John Palattella describes Kirsch as “the intellectual offspring of the New Formalists, a small group of poets and critics--among them Brad Leithauser, Timothy Steele and Dana Gioia (Bush's head of the National Endowment for the Arts)--whose essays and poems in defense of traditional formal conventions were championed by The New Criterion during the 1980s.” [1] He writes regularly for The New Yorker, The Times Literary Supplement, and other magazines. Kirsch is a contributing editor to Harvard Magazine and a 1997 graduate of Harvard College. [3]
