Portrait of Frank Bruni

Frank Bruni

Frank Bruni, a contributing Opinion writer, joined The New York Times in 1995 and has ranged broadly across its pages. He has been both a White House correspondent and the chief restaurant critic. As a staff writer for The Times Magazine, he profiled J.J. Abrams and a health-obsessed billionaire who planned to live to 125; as the Rome bureau chief, he kept tabs on Pope John Paul II and Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.

Mr. Bruni came to The Times from The Detroit Free Press, where he was a war correspondent, the chief movie critic and a religion writer. He is the author of four New York Times best sellers: a 2022 reflection on illness, aging and optimism, "The Beauty of Dusk"; a 2015 examination of the college admissions frenzy, “Where You Go Is Not Who You'll Be”; a 2009 memoir, “Born Round,” about the joys and torments of his eating life; and a 2002 chronicle of George W. Bush’s initial presidential campaign, “Ambling Into History.” In the summer of 2021, he became a professor of journalism and public policy at Duke University.
