Ron Charles (born 1962 in St. Louis, Missouri) is a book critic at The Washington Post. His awards include the 2008 National Book Critics Circle Award Nona Balakian Citation[1] for book reviews,[2] and 1st Place for A&E Coverage from the Society for Features Journalism in 2011.[3] He was one of three jurors for the 2014 Pulitzer Prize in Fiction.[4]
Before joining the Post in 2005, Charles was the book review editor and staff critic for seven years at The Christian Science Monitor.[1]
Sometime after August 2010, with his review of Jonathan Franzen's Freedom,[5] Charles began a series of video book reviews for The Washington Post called "The Totally Hip Video Book Review".[6] In the series, Charles, sometimes featuring his wife, high school English teacher Dawn Charles, hams it up with sight gags and intentionally bad jokes. It is a satirical look at current books in the news and the art of book reviewing.[7]
