Kentucky Author Forum Presents Maureen Dowd
Maureen Dowd, New York Times Columnist and Pulitzer Prize-Winner
Maureen Dowd is a columnist for The New York Times Opinion pages and a feature writer for The Times’s Styles and Arts & Leisure sections. Ms. Dowd won the Pulitzer Prize in 1999, in the commentary category, for her “unsparing columns on the hypocrisies involved in the Lewinsky affair and the effort to impeach President Clinton.” She has covered ten presidential campaigns and served as White House correspondent during the first Bush administration and the Clinton administration. Dowd has written three best-selling books — Bushworld, Are Men Necessary?, and The Year of Voting Dangerously. Her latest book, Notorious: Portraits of Stars from Hollywood, Culture, Fashion and Tech, is a captivating collection of her most compelling celebrity profiles. Using her signature wit and incisive commentary as a scalpel, Dowd dissects influential cultural elites, shining a white-hot spotlight on America’s famous, from Hollywood legends to Broadway stars to media moguls.
"...Dowd has a knack for asking questions that go right up to the edge of intrusion but instead yield thoughtful, intimate insights.”—Los Angeles Times
