My Take
Caitlin Moran is exactly the kind of writer I love, one who makes you laugh while sliding the knife in. Brighton-born and Wolverhampton-schooled, she has built a career at The Times with twice-weekly columns, including the gleefully satirical "Celebrity Watch." The awards back it up: Columnist of the Year for 2010, Critic and Interviewer of the Year in 2011, and London Press Club honors in 2012. What I admire is her range, fusing feminism, frankness, and filth into a voice that is unmistakably hers. Writers who can wrap real conviction in comedy are rare, and she's one of the best.
