Paul Levy was born in Kentucky in 1941 and educated at the universities of Chicago, London, Harvard and Oxford. A lapsed academic, he has for many years been both Lytton Strachey’s co-literary executor and, until 1992, the Food and Wine Editor of the Observer. He writes frequently for the Wall Street Journal on general cultural matters and lives in a 17th-century Oxfordshire farmhouse with his wife, two daughters and an awful lot of cats.
