Ohio University Professor Marilyn Greenwald’s newest book, “The Life and Career of Cleveland Amory,” will be published Spring 2009 by the University of Press of New England.
THe book tells the life story of Amory, who was an animal activist and longtime television critic for TV Guide and writer for Parade Magazine. Greenwald examines how Amory, a best-selling author and magazine writer, developed as an animal-rights activist and nearly abandoned his writing career.
One of Greenwald’s previous biographies, A Woman of the Times: The Life and Career of Charlotte Curtis, (1999: Ohio University Press) was named last year by the journal Journalism History as one of the top 12 biographies/memoirs written about female print journalists. The journal noted that all 12 books “use an individual life as a prism for illuminating larger social and cultural complexities about journalism and gender.”
