~ Henry Hitchings,
The Wall Street Journal
For many years, Garner was an editor for the New York Times Book Review. His essays and criticism have also appeared in The New Republic, Harper’s, Slate and elsewhere. He is a founding editor of Salon.
While still a student at Middlebury College, Garner wrote book criticism for The Village Voice, music and theater criticism and was a stringer for the New York Times. He also is the author of Read Me: A Century of Classic American Book Advertisements. He began keeping his commonplace book while still in high school. “Into it I’ve poured verbal delicacies, ‘the blast of a trumpet,’ as [Ralph Waldo] Emerson put it, and bits of scavenged wisdom from my life as a reader. Yea, for I am an underliner, a destroyer of books, and maybe you are, too.’
