Peter S. Prescott

Peter S. Prescott is an American author and book critic. He was the senior book reviewer at "Newsweek" for more than two decades.

In January, 1970, Prescott published "A World of Our Own: Notes on Life and Learning in a Boys' Preparatory School," which described his alma mater, The Choate School, (now Choate Rosemary Hall).

In the April 10, 1978 issue of "Newsweek", he accused John Gardner of plagiarism, citing a previously published article by Sumner J. Ferris.

In the mid-1990s, Prescott was collecting interviews for a book about Alfred and Blanche Knopf.

Prescott died in 2004.
