 His edition of Borges’ "Selected Non-Fictions" received the National Book Critics Circle Award for criticism.Today, Weinberger is primarily known for his literary writings (essays) and political articles, the former characterized by their wide-ranging subjects and experimental style, verging on a kind of documentary prose poetry, and the latter highly critical of American politics and foreign policy.Born in New York City, Weinberger's books of literary writings include "Works on Paper", "Outside Stories", "Written Reaction", "Karmic Traces", "The Stars", "Muhammad", the "serial essay" "An Elemental Thing", which was selected by the Village Voice as one of the "20 Best Books of the Year," "Oranges & Peanuts for Sale" and "The Ghosts of Birds".
