About the Author
David grew up in Putnam. He graduated from the Loomis Chaffee School in 1970, and went on to graduate from the University of Michigan and Stanford Law School. He is the author of Dreadful: The Short Life and Gay Times of John Horne Burns, a biography of the controversial American author John Horne Burns. Margolick is also the author of Elizabeth and Hazel: Two Women of Little Rock, a study of the principal figures in the iconic photograph from the 1957 school desegregation crisis, published in October 2011 by Yale University Press. In July 2011 his long-form article A Predator Priest, about a family’s long quest to bring a pedophile priest from Margolick’s hometown of Putnam, Connecticut, to justice, was posted on Kindle Singles. His prior books include Beyond Glory: Joe Louis vs. Max Schmeling, and a World on the Brink, published by Knopf in 2005; Strange Fruit: The Biography of a Song (2001); At the Bar: The Passions and Peccadillos of American Lawyers (1995); and Undue Influence: The Epic Battle for the Johnson & Johnson Fortune (1994).
His new book, being released April 3, is The Promise and the Dream. It is the first book to examine the unique relationship between Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy and is a primer for the conversation to unfold this year, as the world marks the fiftieth anniversaries of their deaths. He is currently writing a book on Sid Caesar’s Your Show of Shows for Nextbook’s Jewish Encounters Series (Schocken/Random House). He has been an adjunct professor in New York University’s Department of Journalism and lives in New York City.
