Patricia Pearson (born April 7, 1964) is a Canadian writer and journalist. She has published two novels and several works of nonfiction.

Life and work

Born in Mexico City,[1] Pearson is one of five children of Canadian diplomat Geoffrey Pearson and former Ontario Senator Landon Pearson, and the granddaughter of former Prime Minister Lester Pearson.[2] She was educated at Netherwood School in Rothesay, New Brunswick; Trinity College, Toronto; the University of Chicago; and Columbia School of Journalism in New York.

Pearson has written for magazines such as The New Yorker, Toronto Life, Reader's Digest and Business Week.[3] Her newspaper work has appeared in The Globe and Mail, The Toronto Star, The New York Times, National Post, The Guardian, and The Daily Telegraph.[4] She's also written for CBC Television, The History Channel and TVOntario.[5]

Pearson resigned her weekly column at the National Post in 2003 to protest that newspaper's support for the Bush administration in the lead-up to the Iraq war. Her subsequent satirical writing has been hailed as "hysterically funny" by the Los Angeles Times and “highly amusing” by the New York Times.[6]

Pearson has lived in New York City, Delhi and Moscow, and now resides in Toronto, Ontario with her husband and two children.
