Author of the Week
Curtis Sittenfeld writes literary novels of women's lives that chronicle young girls and women as they literally come of age. Sittenfeld mostly concerns herself with situations of privilege, and her work tends to be loosely based on her own experiences or, as with American Wife, on the life of a public figure. Sittenfeld's novels are focused on an exploration of character with the plot relegated to secondary status. As a result the pacing is deliberate but engrossing. Sittenfeld's prose is sparse, her wit biting, and her tone emotionally charged. Start with: Prep.
