BIO: Heather Mallick currently writes Stand on Guard for
CBC.ca and a
feminist column for Chatelaine magazine. She has worked as
a reporter,
copy editor and book review editor at various Toronto
newspapers. She
challenged the Bush administration unrelentingly in a
column for the
New York Times Syndication Service. Her As If political
column in the
Globe and Mail interrogated, with stinging wit,
contemporary
neoconservatism and its peculiar faiths.
Ms. Mallick has won National Newspaper Awards for both
Critical
Writing and Feature Writing. Her first book, Pearls in
Vinegar, was
published in 2004 and her second, Cake or Death, a
collection of
original essays about how to find consolation for the pain
of life in
the Bush era, was published by Knopf Canada in the spring
of 2007.
Stylistically, Heather Mallick has been compared to
Margaret Atwood,
Jeanette Winterson, and American commentators such as
Maureen Dowd and
the late Molly Ivins. Her writing is described as "smart
and
provocative," "frank and funny," "sultry, stoic and
sarcastic," and
"never dull."
