Mireille Silcoff (born February 1, 1973, in Montreal) is a Canadian author, journalist, and editor.
Silcoff was a longstanding columnist with the National Post[1] and is a contributor to publications including The New York Times Magazine,[2][3][4] The Guardian, and Ha'aretz.
[6] In 2006, Silcoff stepped away from all journalism, magazine work, and public appearances after developing the rare neurological syndrome, chronic cerebrospinal fluid leaks.
[7] After years of being bedridden,[8] she began writing again for the National Post in 2010 and for The New York Times Magazine in 2011.
The partially autobiographical [9] Chez L'arabe describes her cloistered world of severe illness.
