Maureen Corrigan
Underwritten by Catherine B. Carlson
March 5, 2009

The book critic for National Public Radio's “Fresh Air!” and a scholar of popular culture, Maureen Corrigan is also the critic in residence in Georgetown University’s Department of English, where she lectures on literature. USA Today praises her “eclectic taste” and her “skillful assessment” of both contemporary writers and authors of classic literature. Corrigan is an author as well: her own literary memoir, Leave Me Alone, I’m Reading! Finding and Losing Myself in Books, describes her life-long passion for literature. Corrigan’s reviews appear regularly in Book World and the Washington Post; in addition, she has been published in The New York Times, Newsday, The Boston Globe, and The Village Voice.
