En savoir plus sur le livre
Janet Malcolm’s previous collection, "Forty-One False Starts: Essays on Artists and Writers," was recognized for its mastery. "Nobody’s Looking at You" brings together previously uncompiled pieces, mainly from "The New Yorker" and "The New York Review of Books." The title piece is a profile of fashion designer Eileen Fisher, whose mother often said, “Nobody’s looking at you.” In this volume, Malcolm examines a broad range of subjects, from Donald Trump’s TV nemesis Rachel Maddow to pianist Yuju Wang, and the Supreme Court confirmation hearings. In an essay called “Socks,” the Pevears are described as an “asteroid” that has impacted Russian Literature in English translation, while “Dreams and Anna Karenina” focuses on Tolstoy, “one of literature’s greatest masters of manipulative techniques.” The collection concludes with “Pandora’s Click,” a cautionary piece about e-mail etiquette written in the early 2000s, which still resonates today.
