Have things changed at the Globe since you stepped into your role? We review only three books a week now at the Globe-part of the sad trend in book review sections, that shrinkage-but we do try to also cover books in our columns, interviews, and so forth. I get probably 150 to 200 publicity e-mails a day, many of which these days contain a digital copy, and in any week 75 or so physical copies will show up on my doorstep. How many books do you get a week-and of those, how many are you able to review or cover in the Globe? My role at the Globe has grown steadily, and now I’m books editor there I still contribute a weekly column in which I interview authors about the origins of their books.
At one point I was reviewing three books a week. While home with my second child, I wrote a lot of articles about parenting, but I always kept reviewing books, especially for the Boston Globe, where I soon got a column of brief reviews.

I began writing book reviews for a small journal, the Boston Book Review, in the 1990s and kept freelancing through a series of jobs. He was a professor of American history, and we still talk books all the time. It might have begun when I worked as my father’s research assistant in the late 1980s, reading books and letting him know if they were worth his time. What was your path to becoming a literary critic? Her most recent contribution to Poets & Writers Magazine was an interview with author Samantha Hunt in the May/June 2022 issue. Her writing has appeared in many national publications, including the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, Newsday, Salon, HuffPost, and the Rumpus. Tuttle began writing literary criticism in the mid-1990s and has remained an active reviewer ever since.
Tuttle was born in Lawrence, Kansas, which the critic affectionately refers to as “a small haven of blue politics in a sea of red.” She attended the University of Kansas, where her father taught in the History department, and soon after graduating she moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts, where she spent years working as a writer and editor on large reference projects, including the now-defunct, for which she served as managing editor from 1999 to 2004, and the African American National Biography series, working as senior executive editor from 2004 to 2006.
