Jonathan Rosen is an American author and editor.

Education[edit]

Rosen graduated from Yale and began graduate studies working towards a PhD in English at the University of California, Berkeley.[1] He dropped out of graduate school to become a writer.[1]

Career[edit]

Rosen describes his "first real job" as being hired by Seth Lipsky in 1990 to create an art section for The Jewish Daily Forward.[2] Rosen describes Lipsky as an important influence.[2] He held the job for 10 years.[1] As of 2007 he was editorial director of the Nextbook.[1]

Rosen's Joy Comes in the Morning (2004) features the protagonist, Rabbi Deborah Green, who struggles with the perceptions of women rabbis. This work's inclusion of a woman rabbi is viewed as a significant development in American Jewish writings featuring women rabbis.[3]

In April 2023, Rosen published The Best Minds: A Story of Friendship, Madness, and the Tragedy of Good Intentions, a memoir about his friendship with Michael Laudor, a Yale Law School graduate with schizophrenia who killed his fiancée in 1998 during a psychotic episode.[4] The book was a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize[5] and has received high critical acclaim.[6][7][8][4]

Personal Life[edit]

Rosen is Jewish and keeps kosher. He describes having dyslexia. He is also a bird-watcher.[2]
