Toni Schlesinger is an American journalist, theater artist, and fiction writer. She was the author of "Shelter", a long-running column in The Village Voice between 1997 and 2006, and in New York Observer between 2006 and 2007.[1]
A selection of her columns in The Village Voice appear in the book Five Flights Up, published in 2006 by Princeton Architectural Press. Tom Hanks praised the book as a must-read. Playwright Tony Kushner, in his review of it, wrote, "Toni Schlesinger’s book describes this relationship of the accidental to the profound, the domestic to the totally weird; she visits, draws out and celebrates this permanent impermanence better than anyone ever has."
Prior to her affiliations with The Village Voice and New York Observer, Schlesinger was a writer and columnist for the Chicago Reader from 1977 to 1992, where she collaborated with illustrator Tom Bachtell.
