Barry has worked as a reporter for The New York Times since 1995 and as a columnist since 2003. He started out writing the “About New York” column before creating the “This Land” column in January of 2007. In traveling to all 50 states, he has, among other experiences, witnessed an execution in Tennessee, visited a Yup’ik village in western Alaska, and interviewed Meinhardt Raabe, who played the Munchkin coroner in “The Wizard of Oz.” Barry shared a Pulitzer Prize in 1994 and was also awarded the 2003 American Society of Newspaper Editors Award for deadline reporting, and the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism’s 2005 Mike Berger Award for in-depth human interest reporting. He has written three books: ``Pull Me Up: A Memoir,'' published in May 2004; ``City Lights: Stories About New York,'' a collection of his ``About New York'' columns, published in November 2007; and "Bottom of the 33rd: Hope, Redemption, and Baseball's Longest Game," published in April 2011. “Bottom of the 33rd” was just released in paperback last month. Barry lives in Maplewood, N.J., with his wife, Mary Trinity, and their two daughters, Nora and Grace. We hope to see you there!
