First Openly Gay Op-Ed Columnist and Best-Selling Author Set to Speak at the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center, October 11, 2011
Frank Bruni joined the New York Times in 1995. Over his years at The Times he has worn a wide variety of hats including chief restaurant critic (from 2004 through 2009) and Rome bureau chief (from 2002 to 2004). Since June 2011 Frank has been an op-ed columnist for The New York Times, bringing his world-wide range of experiences and his gay sensibility with two columns a week.
Frank will talk as part of the Second Tuesday Lecture Series at the LGBT Community Center on Tuesday, October 11, 2011 at 6:30 PM. Frank has also written two New York Times best sellers. His hilarious and moving memoir, Born Round: The Secret History of a Full-time Eater, covers his years of bulimia, convenience store binges, and bouts of sleep eating, and includes his adventures as the main restaurant critic for The Times.
His other best seller is Ambling Into History: The Unlikely Odyssey of George W. Bush, a largely anecdotal and revealing portrait of the second Bush presidency, whose presidential campaign Bruni covered.
Frank is one of the most influential and interesting journalists working in New York City today. This is your chance to ask him about editorial policies at the The New York Times, his years of reviewing restaurants, and his best-selling books about eating or George W. Bush.
