Adam Gopnik, who wrote the American culture section of Britannica's extensive entry on the United States, has been writing for The New Yorker since 1986.  He became the magazine's art critic in 1987 and, in 1990, moved to Paris and began writing the "Paris Journal" column for the magazine.

He has won the National Magazine Award for Essays and for Criticism three times, and also the George Polk Award for Magazine Reporting.

His latest book (right) is Angels and Ages: A Short Book About Darwin, Lincoln, and Modern Life.  Britannica senior editor Jeff Wallenfeldt recently interviewed Mr. Gopnik about these two seminal figures in Western history turning 200 today.
