I'm Lawrence Levi. I co-wrote The Film Snob's Dictionary, which has been clogging bookstore shelves since 2006. You can read portions of it in Vanity Fair and on our multitudinous Snobsite. If you've read the book and it makes your blood boil, please proceed directly to the Nitpickers' Corner.

Lately I've been writing for the Los Angeles Times. I've also written for The New York Times, The Nation, The Village Voice, The New York Times Book Review, Tablet, Stop Smiling, The Huffington Post, Newsday, The Boston Phoenix, Artforum, Art & Antiques, In These Times, Citysearch, and Flavorpill. And, going way back, San Francisco Weekly and Spy.

I live in Brooklyn. Go ahead and drop me a line.
