Alix Christie
I'm an American-Canadian author and journalist. Born in California and raised Montana and British Columbia, I started writing at the age of 10 with a family newspaper and a (very bad) novel about horses. I studied philosophy at Vassar College, journalism at UC Berkeley and got my masters in fine arts from St Mary's College of California. In my first career as a journalist I reported for newspapers in California and from Europe as a foreign correspondent, including the Washington Post, The Guardian, The San Francisco Chronicle and Salon.com. I currently write about culture for The Economist.
I published my debut novel, "Gutenberg's Apprentice" in 2014 and have since written and published award-winning short stories. My new novel, "The Shining Mountains" is the story of my distant great-uncle and his Native American wife and family in the 19th century Rocky Mountain West. Learning about and sharing this important history has been incredibly enriching. Learn more about it at www.alixchristie.com.
