- Description
- My memoir In the Land of Men is several things: my coming of age in the male-dominated literary world of the 90s, a story for anyone who has ever been the only woman in the room, an elegy to the dying days of the golden age of print, and an account of my relationship with David Foster Wallace. For years after David’s death, I tried to stay away from everything having to do with him. I didn’t want to talk about him, I didn’t want to think about him, and I certainly felt no inclination to ever write about him. I had plenty of other work projects to keep me occupied, I had a busy and happy family life; I’m an optimistic, forward-looking individual, and time-traveling myself back an uneasy past held no appeal.
