Paul Gray

摘要

When paul gray left thernEnglish faculty at Princeton for a job at Time in 1972, he quickly discovered a gifted new writer: himself. He established a reputation as a brilliant book reviewer, covering everything from cookbooks to the Bible but focusing on the major novelists of the era. (His cover subjects included John Updike,rnToni Morrison and Tom Wolfe.) Yet over his 29-year career, Paul, who died on Sept. 11 at 70, became much more than a critic, ranging over topics as diverse as eugenics, Joe DiMaggio, bird-watching and the vagaries of Jimmy Carter's presidency.
