He has been a prominent journalist for more than three decades, including more than 25 years at The New York Times, where he was a White House correspondent, Rome bureau chief, and chief restaurant critic. Bruni is the author of four books that appeared on The New York Times Best Seller list, including most recently “The Beauty of Dusk.”
