en-wikipedia-org-4109		Michiko Kakutani - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	1658	241	77	Michiko Kakutani (born January 9, 1955) is an American literary critic and former chief book critic for The New York Times. Franzen reportedly subsequently called Kakutani "the stupidest person in New York City".[4][5] Another example is that, in 2012, Kakutani wrote a negative review of Nassim Nicholas Taleb's Antifragile.[6] In 2018, Taleb stated in his book Skin in the Game that "someone has to have read the book to notice that a reviewer is full of baloney, so in the absence of skin in the game, reviewers such as Michiko Kakutani" can "go on forever without anyone knowing" that they are fabricating and drunk.[7] According to Kira Cochrane in The Guardian, such counterattacks may have bolstered Kakutani's reputation as commendably "fearless".[4] Kakutani announced that she was stepping down as chief book critic of the Times on July 27, 2017.[5][15] In an article summing her book reviewing career, a writer in Vanity Fair called her "the most powerful book critic in the English-speaking world" and credited her with boosting the careers of George Saunders, Mary Karr, David Foster Wallace, Jonathan Franzen, Ian McEwan, Martin Amis, and Zadie Smith.[5]	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-4109.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-4109.txt
