John Simon is a Serbian-American author and literary, theater, and film critic. He has been a regular contributor to a number of magazines, including “The New Leader,” “The New Criterion,” and “National Review.” Although not a native English speaker, he is known for his incisive criticism on the use of the language in American writing, notably in his book “Paradigms Lost: Reflections on Literacy and Its Decline,” and was one of the guests on the PBS special “Do You Speak American?”

Simon was theater critic at “New York Magazine” for more than 36 years, from October 1968 until he was fired in May 2005. Since June 2005 Simon has reviewed theater for BloombergNews.com. He also contributes a monthly essay to “The Weekly Standard.”
