Mark Feeney

Mark Feeney started as a researcher in the Boston Globe's library in 1979. He has been assistant book editor, book editor, editor of the Globe’s weekly section of news analysis and commentary, and a staff writer for the Boston Globe Magazine. Currently an arts writer and photography reviewer for the Globe's Living/Arts section, Feeney has also written for the paper's news, food, and “At Home” sections and its editorial page. His work has appeared in the New Republic, Commonweal, the Los Angeles Times, Newsday, Harper's, The American Scholar, The Washington Monthly, and the New York Observer.

The University of Chicago Press published his Nixon at the Movies: A Book about Belief in 2004. Vanity Fair’s James Wolcott called the book “transfixing,” and in The (London) Observer, Peter Conrad called it “an ingenious study of Nixon’s mythomania,” while describing its author as “a perceptive analyst and a vividly aphoristic writer.” In 2008, he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for criticism for a series of ten essays on visual culture, that ranged from photography to painting and film.

Since 2004, Feeney has been a lecturer in American Studies at Brandeis University. (2009)
