Adam Gopnik Biography

Adam Gopnik is one of the most popular and richest Writer who was born on August 24, 1956 in Philadelphia, Philadelphia, United States. Adam Gopnik (born August 24, 1956) is an American writer and essayist. He is best known as a staff writer for The New Yorker—to which he has contributed non-fiction, fiction, memoir and criticism since 1986 – and as the author of the essay collection Paris to the Moon, an account of five years that he, his wife Martha, and son Luke spent in the French capital.

In 1995, The New Yorker dispatched him to Paris to write the “Paris Journals”, in which he described life in that city. These essays were later collected and published by Random House in Paris to the Moon, after Gopnik returned to New York City in 2000. The book became a bestseller on The New York Times Best Seller list.

A book on Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin, called Angels and Ages, followed in January 2009. In 2010, Hyperion Books published his children’s fantasy novel The Steps Across the Water which chronicles the adventures of a young girl, Rose, in the mystical city of U Nork.

His book The Table Comes First (2011), is about food, cooking and restaurants.

Gopnik studied art history and with his friend Kirk Varnedoe curated the 1990 High/Low show at New York’s Museum of Modern Art. He later wrote an article for Search Magazine on the connection between religion and art and the compatibility of Christianity and Darwinism. He states in the article that the arts of human history are products of religious thought and that human conduct is not guaranteed by religion or secularism.

Gopnik has contributed fiction, humor, book reviews, profiles, and internationally reported pieces to the magazine. After writing his first piece for the magazine in 1986, Gopnik became the magazine’s art critic. He worked in this position from 1987 to 1995, after which he became the magazine’s Paris correspondent. After five years in the French capital, Gopnik returned to New York to write a journal on life in the city. Gopnik continues to contribute to The New Yorker as a staff writer. In recent years, he has written extensively about gun control and gun violence in the United States.

In 1986, he began his long association with The New Yorker with a piece that would show his future range, a consideration of connections among baseball, childhood, and Renaissance art. He has written for four New Yorker editors: William Shawn, Robert Gottlieb, Tina Brown, and David Remnick.

In addition to Paris to the Moon, Random House published the author’s reflections on life in New York, and particularly the comedy of parenting, Through the Children’s Gate, in 2006. (As in the earlier memoir, much of the material had appeared previously in The New Yorker.) In 2005, Hyperion Books published his children’s novel The King in the Window about Oliver, an American boy living in Paris, who is mistaken for a mystical king and stumbles upon an ancient battle waged between Window Wraiths and the malicious Master of Mirrors.
