Timeline

1943

David Denby (born 1943) is an American journalist.

1965

He received a B.A. from Columbia University in 1965, and a master's degree from its journalism school in 1966.

Denby began writing film criticism while a graduate student at Stanford University's Department of Communication.

1970

He began his professional life in the early 1970s as an adherent of the film critic Pauline Kael—one of a group of film writers informally, and sometimes derisively, known as "the Paulettes."

1993

Denby wrote for The Atlantic Monthly, the Boston Phoenix, and New York before arriving at The New Yorker; his first article for the magazine was published in 1993, and beginning in 1998 he served as a staff writer and film critic, alternating his critical duties week by week with Anthony Lane.

1996

Denby's Great Books (1996) is a non-fiction account of the Western canon-oriented Core Curriculum at his alma mater, Columbia University.

In The New York Times, the writer Joyce Carol Oates called the book "a lively adventure of the mind," filled with "unqualified enthusiasm."

Great Books was a New York Times bestseller.

In The Modern Mind: An Intellectual History of the 20th century, Peter Watson called "Great Books" the "most original response to the culture wars."

The book has been published in 13 foreign editions.

2004

In 2004, Denby published American Sucker, a memoir which details his investment misadventures in the dot-com stock market bubble, along with his own bust years as a divorcé from writer Cathleen Schine, leading to a major reassessment of his life.

Allan Sloan in The New York Times called the author "formidably smart," while noting this paradox: "Mr. Denby is even smart enough to realize how paradoxical it is that he not only has a good, prestigious job, but that he is also in a position to make money by relating how he lost money in the stock market."

2009

Snark, published in 2009, is Denby's polemical dissection of the spread of low, annihilating sarcasm in the Internet and in public speech.

2012

Denby participated in the 2012 Sight & Sound critics' poll, where he listed his ten favorite films as follows: L'Avventura, Citizen Kane, The Godfather Part II, Journey to Italy, The Life of Oharu, The Rules of the Game, Seven Samurai, Sunrise, The Tree of Life, and ''Vertigo.

In 2012, Denby collected his best film writing in Do the Movies Have a Future?

2014

He served as film critic for The New Yorker until December 2014.

Denby grew up in New York City.

In December 2014, it was announced that Denby would step down as film critic in early 2015, continuing with The New Yorker as a staff writer.

Jonathan Rosenbaum wrote: "David Denby – the film critic who can be counted on most regularly to express American doublethink with the least amount of self-consciousness".
