Unlike her peers Joan Didion and Susan Sontag, she avoided the personal fame that her renown might have brought despite making herself a character in her work. In \u003ci\u003eThe Absent Woman\u003c\/i\u003e, journalist Eve Sneider, among the first researchers to access Malcolm’s archive, insightfully portrays Malcolm and delves into the people and themes that consumed her during a nearly sixty-year career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom photography to psychoanalysis to how we tell stories, Sneider explores Malcolm’s obsessions through her manuscripts, lauded but controversial books, art, correspondence, and interviews with colleagues and friends. Examining Malcolm’s infamous trials with former Freudian psychoanalyst Jeffrey Masson, her provocative convictions about the nature of journalism, and her eventual turn to autobiographical writing, Sneider also grapples with the dilemma that attended much of Malcolm’s most famous work: the knotted ethics of depicting another person, even as she depicts Malcolm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDivided into identities that Malcolm embodied—émigré, humorist, photographer, shrink watcher, defendant, writer, artist, and archivist—\u003ci\u003eThe Absent Woman\u003c\/i\u003e illustrates the many ways in which Malcolm’s works were vehicles for understanding herself. \u003ci\u003eThe Absent Woman\u003c\/i\u003e is a vivid, Malcolmian probe into the mind of one of the most elusive literary figures of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEve Sneider\u003c\/b\u003e is a writer based in Brooklyn.
