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.

Fabulous, especially for sensitive skin and those with aversion to textures.
Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: Spray
Keeps my skin from turning UGLIER. THIS actually WORKS. I do not wish to be any tanner than I come naturally, and this is the BEST sunscreen I've ever used. I do use a wipe to remove the overspray from my eye area. It does not irritate my incredibly sensitive skin, and sprays on easily..like a dream. No more sandy spf moments!..I can't stand that creamy+oily stuff all over my hands then throw in a little sand - now we have a sensory concern..NOT WITH THIS STUFF!! Highly recommend. Easy to use. KeyWest rays had nothing on this..we came back slightly tan, not burnt, and not a looking like a different ethicity. Reapply as recommend.

Best Sunscreen Ever
Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: Spray, Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: Spray
BEST. SUNSCREEN. EVER. Seriously. My skin is paper-white and I'm highly tattooed, so sun safety is very important to me. 100 SPF for total protection is unbeatable and I have yet to burn even a little. I'm also very texture-sensitive so I can't stand thick, gloopy, sticky lotions. This one actually sprays on clear, soaks in right away, is light, and even a little bit refreshing. The spray mechanism also makes it easier to get my back without help. There's no off-putting smell, no mess, no problems. I do reapply if I'm out for a while so I'll need to reorder soon, but I'm not mad about it at all. It's very affordable compared to the alternatives and entirely worth it.

Still fried.
Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: Spray
Smells good and you don’t feel it after applying it. My son and I still got sun burnt which is normal for our fair skin. I’ve never blistered before and using this I did even reapplying half way through my time of being on the beach for an hour and most of that time under an umbrella.

My first choice for Spray SPF 100 rated products.
Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: Spray
I really like this spray on SPF 100 product over other brands I have used. There is really no issues with application and no detectable odor or fragrance after it drys. I really can't find anything negative to note about this stuff & it seems to work well. For someone who needs the very best sunblock to use every day, this wins my First Place Award over all the other products I have used.
