Career


Ehrenreich began working as a journalist in the alternative press in the late 1990s, publishing extensively in LA Weekly and the Village Voice. His journalism, essays and criticism have since appeared in Harper's, The New York Times Magazine, The Nation, the Los Angeles Times, The Believer, and the London Review of Books. He has reported from Afghanistan, Haiti, Cambodia, El Salvador, Mexico and all over the United States. In 2011, he was awarded a National Magazine Award in feature writing for an article published in Los Angeles magazine.


His first novel,The Suitors,.[1] was published by Counterpoint Press in 2006. Reviewing it, the American Library Association named him "a writer to watch" while Publishers Weekly called him "an original talent." Writing in BOMB, the novelist Frederic Tuten called The Suitors “truly a ravishing book.” Ehrenreich’s short fiction has appeared in McSweeney's, BOMB, Black Clock and many other publications.


Ehrenreich also teaches in the graduate writing program at Otis College of Art and Design.


In 2016, he released another book, The Way to the Spring: Life and Death in Palestine, describing life in the Palestinian village of Nabi Salih and the villagers' struggle against the encroaching Israeli settlement of Halamish. The book was praised by The Economist with the conclusion that "It should be read by friends and foes of Israel alike."[2] A review in The New York Times called it a "weighty contribution to the Palestinian side of the scales of history."[3]
