   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.02 sec.

Macdonald, Dwight (1906–1982)

US essayist and critic. Entering journalism after graduating from Yale, he eventually became a staff writer for the New Yorker (1951–71). His essays and political, social, and literary criticism, renowned for their ironic wit, were collected in several volumes including The Memoirs of a Revolutionist (1957) and Against the American Grain (1962). A lifelong left-wing activist, he often publicly debated political issues; he lectured widely, for example, against the Vietnam War. Macdonald was born in New York City.
