Mireille Silcoff

Mireille Silcoff (born February 1, 1973 in Montreal) is a Canadian writer and editor. She is the author of four books, including the award-winning work of fiction Chez L'arabe (Anansi). Silcoff is a longstanding columnist with the National Post, and a contributor to publications including The New York Times Magazine. She is the founding editor of Guilt & Pleasure Quarterly, "a magazine of new Jewish writing and ideas" (2005-2007) and the founder of a Toronto-based discussion salon (2004-2006) connected to that magazine. In 2006, Silcoff stepped away from all journalism, magazine work and public appearances after developing the rare neurological syndrome, Chronic Cerebrospinal Fluid Leaks. After years of being entirely bedridden, she began writing again for the National Post in 2010 and for the New York Times Magazine in 2011. The partially autobiographical Chez L'arabe describes her cloistered world of severe illness.
