전기 및 작가의 여정
David Brooks, born in Toronto in 1961, is a Canadian-born American writer, acclaimed commentator, and public intellectual whose career spans journalism, political analysis, and bestselling books. Raised in New York City’s Stuyvesant Town and later in the Philadelphia suburbs, Brooks was deeply influenced by his academically engaged family; his father taught English literature, while his mother studied British history. He graduated from the University of Chicago in 1983 with a bachelor’s degree in history, and his early campus writings showcased both wit and ambition—most notably in a satirical piece that indirectly helped propel his entry into national journalism.
