Jayson Greene (born ) is an American author, music critic and editor. He has served as a senior editor of online music magazine Pitchfork and is the author of Once More We Saw Stars, a memoir about the death of his two-year-old daughter, in 2015. The book, released May 14, 2019, received a starred review from Publishers Weekly and was named to lists of most-anticipated books of 2019 by Entertainment Weekly, the Observer, New York magazine's Vulture, Elle, Oprah Magazine and Bustle.
Reviewing Once More We Saw Stars for The New York Times, Alex Witchel praised the book as "a revelation of lightness and agility. That Greene managed to keep his facility for language during a period where it often disappears is a miracle. He has created a narrative of grief and acceptance that is compulsively readable and never self-indulgent." Rolling Stone gave it four of five stars, noting that the story which "might be too bleak to face" instead is "an intensely moving, life-affirming story about a young couple moving through the darkest depths of grief together, making it up as they go along."
