David Denby Fades to New Yorker Black [Corrected]

David Denby’s first article for The New Yorker, published in 1993, was titled “Does Homer Have Legs?” It was all about the journalist returning to his Alma Mater Columbia University for a pair of literature courses. Denby would go on to fashion a book out of those experiences.

Denby joined The New Yorker full-time in 1998 as a staff writer and film critic; now, per the tweet above from colleague John Lahr, that phase of his service has come to a close.*
