`With no weak selections and several strikingly prescient ones, this collection shows its author as a master of narrative nonfiction.' (starred review) * Publishers Weekly * 'Nobody's Looking At You is brimful of all the eloquence, erudition and insight a thoughtful reader could want.' * NPR * `A legendary journalist.' * Laura Miller * `Malcolm's work inspires the best kind of disquiet in a reader-the obligation to think.' * Jeffrey Toobin * 'Malcolm brings [the] same moral seriousness to every topic she addresses...[H]er calm, brilliant essays are the perfect tonic for our troubled times.' * Associated Press * 'Every word of Janet Malcolm's latest nonfiction collection, Nobody's Looking at You, is a pleasure to read, even if you have no built-in interest in her topics. The author of The Journalist and the Murderer comes off like a proponent of the 'Life is short, eat dessert first' philosophy, placing her snappiest pieces in the first section...[The essays] show off Malcolm's way with quick, vivid word pictures...and her gift for the telling detail...[and] reveal the breadth of Malcolm's wit and insight[.]' * Star Tribune * `[R]uthlessly artful...[H]er magazine profiles of noted personalities are peerless when it comes to unraveling what makes people tick. She'll deliver the factual goods with brisk efficiency, while happily leaving mysteries in place.' * Seattle Times * `Janet Malcolm...remains a ruthless, dazzling journalist.' * Guardian * `She is among the most intellectually provocative of authors, able to turn epiphanies of perception into explosions of insight.' * Boston Globe * 'What unites these pieces is a mood-heavy, autumnal, nostalgic...There is stirring, beautifully structured writing here, particularly in the title essay, a profile of Fisher, which combines many of the writer's signal interests-our unconscious aggression and the way we methodically and unknowingly recreate the world of our childhood in our adult lives.' * New York Times *
