WINNER OF THE 2023 PEN/DIAMONSTEIN-SPIELVOGEL AWARD FOR THE ART OF THE ESSAYA 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.
