678 0_ |a At the New York Times, Margalit is a reporter in the celebrated Obituary News Department, where she has written send-offs of some of the leading cultural figures of our era, including the pioneering feminist Betty Friedan, the literary critic Wayne C. Booth and the philosopher Paul Ricoeur. She has also written the obituaries of many of the unsung heroes who have managed, quietly, to touch history, among them the man who invented the crash-test dummy, the textile conservator who washed Napoleon’s nightshirt and the home economist who invented Stove Top Stuffing. Reprinted in newspapers throughout North America and around the world, Margalit’s work has been anthologized in Best Newspaper Writing, 2005 and elsewhere. She is also featured in The Dead Beat (HarperCollins, 2006), the recent popular book by Marilyn Johnson about the pleasures of obituaries. |u http://www.talkinghandsbook.com/theauthor.html
