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, TLS

Janet Malcolm's 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, 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 of this wonderfully eclectic collection is a profile of the fashion designer Eileen Fisher, whose mother often said to her, "Nobody's looking at you." But in every piece in this volume, Malcolm looks closely and with impunity at a broad range of subjects, from Donald Trump's 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 literature's greatest masters of manipulative techniques."

Nobody's Looking at You concludes with "Pandora's 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.

Smelly but nice
Color: 100ml #01-Pearl White
The product is very beautiful but has an odd smell to it. I can really only describe it as a “Germ-X” smell, but I believe perfume can cover this well.

Glow Up Must-Have!
Color: 100ml #04-Golden Brown
This body shimmer oil is EVERYTHING! I need products that make an impact with zero fuss, and this delivers. The glow it gives? Chef’s kiss. It’s like walking around with a soft-focus filter on my skin – radiant, sun-kissed, and oh-so-hydrated. ✨ The texture is light and silky, no greasy residue, and it absorbs quickly, so I’m not standing around waiting for it to dry. Perfect for a quick swipe-and-go before heading out. Plus, it pairs beautifully with my fave foundation for a subtle gleam on my face. Bonus points for how moisturizing it is – my skin feels SO soft! Whether I’m running errands or heading to a rooftop party, this is my secret weapon for that effortless glow. Don’t walk, RUN to add this to your cart!

White is not white its Gold
Color: 100ml #01-Pearl White, Color: 100ml #01-Pearl White
I thought the white was going to actually be white but the glitter is gold. My fault for not double checking. Its still pretty just not what I wanted.
