The University of Chicago Press published his Nixon at the Movies: A Book about Belief in 2004. Vanity Fair’s James Wolcott called the book “transfixing,” and in The (London) Observer, Peter Conrad called it “an ingenious study of Nixon’s mythomania,” while describing its author as “a perceptive analyst and a vividly aphoristic writer.” In 2008, he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for criticism for a series of ten essays on visual culture, that ranged from photography to painting and film.
