Hamilton Cain is a former Contributing Books Editor at Oprah Daily and a finalist for a National Magazine Award. He reviews fiction and nonfiction for The New York Times Book Review, the Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe, the Los Angeles Times, and select digital outlets, and was also a frequent contributor to the recently shuttered Washington Post Book World. His memoir, This Boy’s Faith: Notes from a Southern Baptist Upbringing (Crown, 2011), was praised as “thoughtful, leisurely” by the Boston Globe and lauded by The New York Times Book Review: “Cain excels at portraying the confusing miasma of childhood . . . his prose complements this delicate inquiry, simultaneously exhibiting grace and exactitude.” He lives with his family in Brooklyn, New York.
