Laura Miller (writer)
Laura Miller is an American journalist and critic based in New York City. She is a co-founder of Salon.com, where she is currently a staff writer, and a contributor to the New York Times Book Review, where she wrote the "Last Word" column for two years. Her work has appeared in The New Yorker, the Los Angeles Times, Time, the Wall Street Journal, The Guardian and other publications. She is the author of The Magician's Book: A Skeptic's Adventures in Narnia, a book about C.S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia fantasy series, her enchantment with it as a child, and her disenchantment with it when she realized its heavy-handed Christian parallels as an adult.
Biography
Miller was raised as a Catholic and grew up in California. (She has since said she deplores the Church's "guilt-mongering and tedious rituals.") In 1995, Miller helped to co-found Salon.com.
