A New York Times Book Review Editors Choice. A 2019 NPR Staff Pick.Malcolm is always worth reading; it can be instructive to see how much satisfying craft she brings to even the most trivial article. --Phillip Lopate, TLSJanet Malcolms previous collection, Forty-One False Starts: Essays on Artists and Writers, was unmistakably the work of a master (The New York Times Book Review). Like Forty-One False Starts, Nobodys Looking at You brings together previously uncompiled pieces, mainly from The New Yorker and The New York Review of Books.The title piece of this wonderfully eclectic collection is a profile of the fashion designer Eileen Fisher, whose mother often said to her, Nobodys looking at you. But in every piece in this volume, Malcolm looks closely and with impunity at a broad range of subjects, from Donald Trumps TV nemesis Rachel Maddow, to the stiletto-heel-wearing pianist Yuju Wang, to the big-league game of Supreme Court confirmation hearings. In an essay called Socks, the Pevears are seen as the sort of asteroid that] has hit the safe world of Russian Literature in English translation, and in Dreams and Anna Karenina, the focus is Tolstoy, one of literatures greatest masters of manipulative techniques. Nobodys Looking at You concludes with Pandoras Click, a brief, cautionary piece about e-mail etiquette that was written in the early two thousands, and that reverberates--albeit painfully--to this day.About the AuthorJanet Malcolm is the author of many books, including In the Freud Archives; The Journalist and the Murderer; Two Lives: Alice and Gertrude, which won the 2008 PEN/Jacqueline Bograd Weld Award for Biography; and Forty-One False Starts, which was a finalist for the 2013 National Book Critics Circle Award for Criticism. She is a frequent contributor to The New Yorker and The New York Review of Books. In 2017, Malcolm received the Gold Medal for Belles Lettres and Criticism from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
