Biography


James is one of at least three children born to James M. Fuoroli Sr. and Joan A. Ford.[1][2] A native of Providence, Rhode Island, she graduated—as Caryn A. Fuoroli—from Providence College in 1974 and obtained her doctorate in English literature at Brown University.[5][4] She began working as a freelance journalist at the Los Angeles Times,[6] St. Louis Post-Dispatch,[7] Newsday,[8] The New York Times,[9] TV Guide and Vogue.[10] Beginning in January 1982, Fuoroli instituted her now familiar pen name simply by swapping the family name for her father's first name.[11][12] She eventually landed a three-week temporary position at The New York Times Book Review and later became a permanent staff member.[10]

James moved to the daily newspaper, as a cultural reporter. In 1995, she began working as a television critic and, in 1997, was named by the Times as its first chief television critic.[10] A year later, James published her first novel, Glorie, to good reviews.[13]

In 2006, she published her second novel, What Caroline Knew: A Novel, and by 2010, had left the Times, returning to film critiques. She then began working at Marie Claire magazine while also doing freelance work.[14] The following year, James began working with IndieWire in a division created for her James on Screens.[4] She writes for The Wall Street Journal, The Hollywood Reporter and is an adjunct professor in film studies at Columbia University.[15]
