Early life and education
Family
Solomon is the oldest son of Carolyn Bower Solomon and Howard Solomon, former chairman of Forest Laboratories and founder of Hildred Capital Partners;[20] he is brother to David Solomon, also of Hildred Capital Partners.[21] Solomon described the experience of his family's presence at his mother's planned suicide at the end of a long battle with ovarian cancer in an article for The New Yorker;[22] in a fictionalized account in his novel, A Stone Boat; and again in The Noonday Demon. Solomon's subsequent depression, eventually managed with psychotherapy and antidepressant medications, inspired his father to secure FDA approval to market citalopram (Celexa) in the United States.[23]
Education
Solomon was born and raised in Manhattan. He attended the Horace Mann School, graduating cum laude in 1981.[24] He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Yale University in 1985, graduating magna cum laude,[25] and later earned a master's degree in English at Jesus College, Cambridge.[26] In August 2013, he was awarded a Ph.D. in psychology from Jesus College, Cambridge, with a thesis on attachment theory prepared under the supervision of Juliet Mitchell.
Publications and career
In 1988, Solomon began his study of Russian artists, which culminated with the publication of The Irony Tower: Soviet Artists in a Time of Glasnost (Knopf, 1991). His first novel, A Stone Boat (Faber, 1994), the story of a man's shifting identity as he watches his mother battle cancer, was a runner up for the Los Angeles Times First Fiction prize.[27]
From 1993 to 2001, Solomon was a contributing writer for The New York Times Magazine.[1][2][3][6]
The Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression was originally published in May 2001, and has been translated into twenty-four languages. It was named a Notable Book of 2001 by The New York Times,[28] and was included in the American Library Association's 2002 list of Notable Books.[29] It won the National Book Award for Nonfiction;[8] the Books for a Better Life Award from the National Multiple Sclerosis Society;[30] the 2002 Ken Book Award from the National Alliance on Mental Illness of New York City;[31] Mind Book of the Year;[32] the Lambda Literary Award for Autobiography/Memoir;[33] and Quality Paperback Book Club's New Visions Award.
Following publication of The Noonday Demon, Solomon was honored with the Dr Albert J. Solnit Memorial Award from Fellowship Place;[34] the Voice of Mental Health Award from the Jed Foundation and the National Mental Health Association (now Mental Health America);[35] the Prism Award from the National Depressive and Manic-Depressive Association; the Erasing the Stigma Leadership Award from Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services;[36] the Charles T. Rubey L.O.S.S. Award from the Karla Smith Foundation;[37] and the Silvano Arieti Award from the William Alanson White Institute.[38]
In 2003, Solomon's article, "The Amazing Life of Laura", a profile of diarist Laura Rothenberg, received the Clarion Award for Health Care Journalism, and the Angel of Awareness Award from the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.[39] In April 2009, his article, "Cancer & Creativity: One Chef's True Story,"[40] received the Bert Greene Award for Food Journalism by the International Association of Culinary Professionals;[41] the story was also a finalist for the 11th Annual Henry R. Luce Award.[42] Solomon's reminiscence on a friend who committed suicide won the Folio Eddie Gold Award in 2011.[43][44]
In addition to his magazine work, Solomon has written essays for many anthologies and books of criticism, and his work has been featured on National Public Radio's Moth Radio Hour.[45][46]
Far from the Tree: Parents, Children, and the Search for Identity is about how families accommodate children with physical, mental and social disabilities and differences; it was published in November 2012 in the United States[47] and two months later in the UK (under the title, Far from the Tree: A Dozen Kinds of Love).[48] The writing of the book was supported by residencies at Yaddo,[49] MacDowell Colony,[50] Ucross Foundation,[51] and the Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Center;[52] at MacDowell, Solomon was the DeWitt Wallace/Reader's Digest Fellow and later the Stanford Calderwood fellow.[53] The book was named one of the 10 best books of 2012 by The New York Times.[54] It won the National Book Critics Circle Award in the Nonfiction category,[11] the Media for a Just Society Award of the National Council on Crime and Delinquency,[12] the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award,[13] the Dayton Literary Peace Prize,[14] the National Multiple Sclerosis Society Books for a Better Life Award,[55] the J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize,[15] the Wellcome Book Prize,[16] and the New Atlantic Independent Booksellers Association (NAIBA) Book of the Year Award for Nonfiction.[56] A young adult edition of Far from the Tree was published in July 2017.[57]
Following publication of Far from the Tree, Solomon was also honored with the Yale Department of Psychiatry's Neuroscience 2013 Research Advocacy Award,[58] the Fountain House Humanitarian Award,[59] the Gray Matters Award from the Columbia University Department of Psychiatry,[60] the University of Michigan's Mike Wallace Award,[61] the Friend and Benefactor Award of the Global and Regional Asperger Syndrome Partnership,[62] the National Alliance on Mental Illness Seeds of Hope Award, and the Klerman Award from the Weill-Cornell Medical College Department of Psychiatry.[63]
In Summer of 2014, Solomon was appointed Professor of Clinical Psychology at Columbia University Medical Center.[17] In 2014, Solomon was awarded the Erikson Institute Prize for Excellence in Mental Health Media.[64]
In April 2016, Scribner published Far and Away: Reporting from the Brink of Change, a collection of Solomon's international reporting since 1991;[65] the book has since been reissued with the title, Far and Away: How Travel Can Change the World.[66] The New York Times included Far and Away in its list of 100 Notable Books of 2016.[67]
On November 10, 2017, Far from the Tree, a documentary based on Solomon's book, premiered at the DOC NYC festival.[68] North American rights to the documentary have been acquired by Sundance Selects.[69]

Personal life
As an adult, Solomon became a dual citizen of the United States and the United Kingdom. He and journalist John Habich had a civil partnership ceremony on June 30, 2007, at Althorp, the Spencer family estate and childhood home of Diana, Princess of Wales.[95][96] The couple married again on July 17, 2009, the eighth anniversary of their meeting, in Connecticut, so that their marriage would be legally recognized in the state of New York.[73][97]
In 2003, Solomon and longtime friend Blaine Smith decided to have a child together; their daughter, Carolyn Blaine Smith Solomon, was born in November 2007. Mother and child live in Texas. A son, George Charles Habich Solomon, was born in April 2009, and lives in New York with Solomon and Habich, his adoptive father. Habich is also the biological father of two children, Oliver and Lucy Scher, born to lesbian friends who live in Minneapolis. The development of this composite family was the subject of a feature article by Solomon published in Newsweek in January 2011,[73] and in an April 2012 profile in The Observer.[98]
