“New York Journal of Books has been fortunate to count Edith G. Tolchin as one of its distinguished reviewers since 2018. She brings the keen sensibility and intelligence of an accomplished memoirist to each expertly crafted and insightful book review. And, she modulates her beautiful writing so that it is pitch perfect whether reviewing a major celebrity memoir or a poignant one by a person less known conveying singular circumstance. Book reviews are read both for guidance in choosing a book or simply to learn something about the subject of a book and key takeaways. Ms. Tolchin always succeeds in conveying all of this. Sometimes this leads to reading a book you hadn’t planned to pick up.”
