Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Anna Quindlen took aim at her former colleague, ex-New York Times columnist Bill Keller over a controversial column about a woman with cancer that raised a storm of criticism among readers.

Speaking at an event to promote her new novel, “Still Life With Crumbs,” Quindlen responded to an audience question about Keller by saying she was “made uncomfortable” over the fact that Keller and his wife Emma Gilbey Keller wrote about “the same subject, the same woman.”
