Timeline

1906

Orville Prescott (September 8, 1906, Cleveland, Ohio – April 28, 1996, New Canaan, Connecticut) was the main book reviewer for The New York Times for 24 years.

1930

Born in Cleveland, Prescott graduated from Williams College in 1930.

1942

He began his career as a researcher for Newsweek, then known as News-Week, and became the literary editor of Cue Magazine before joining the Times, where he wrote three or four book reviews every week from 1942 through 1966.

More than any other reviewer, he influenced sales of books across the country, and was held in high esteem.

His reviews showed a preference for traditional novels with strong narratives and clear characterizations.

1958

In 1958 he reviewed Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov and described it as "dull, dull, dull in a pretentious, florid and archly fatuous fashion."

1961

In 1961, Gore Vidal wrote a scathing portrait of Prescott as a reviewer.

Vidal later wrote that Prescott was so offended by his depiction of a homosexual love affair in The City and the Pillar that he refused to review his work or allow the Times to review it.

Prescott edited three anthologies about history and after his retirement wrote two books about the Italian Renaissance.
