by Judith Thurman (Author)
WINNER OF THE 2023 PEN/DIAMONSTEIN-SPIELVOGEL AWARD FOR THE ART OF THE ESSAY
A collection of essays from Judith Thurman, the National Book Award-winning biographer and New Yorker staff writer. Judith Thurman, a prolific staff writer at
The New Yorker for more than two decades, has gathered a selection of her essays and profiles in
A Left-Handed Woman. They consider our culture in all its guises: literature, history, politics, gender, fashion, and art, though their paramount subject is the human condition.
Thurman is one of the preeminent essayists of our time--"a master of vivisection," as Kathryn Harrison wrote in
The New York Times. "When she's done with a subject, it's still living, mystery intact."
