Wesley Morris

Wesley Morris is the only writer in history to win the Pulitzer Prize for Criticism twice - once in 2012 at The Boston Globe and again in 2021 at The New York Times, where he serves as Critic at Large. A Yale-educated Philadelphia native, Morris writes about film, music, race, and American identity with a voice that is simultaneously playful and incisive. He co-hosted the NYT podcast Still Processing for six years, launched Cannonball in June 2025, and runs a Substack newsletter. His work stands at the intersection of entertainment and cultural politics, making him one of the most respected voices in American criticism.
