Rachel Profiling

Hello, I'm Rachel.

Writer/editor. New Mexican tumbleweed blown east to skyscraper country.

Right now, I am working on a book about F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sheilah Graham, and Hollywood in the 1930s. It will also contain a lot of drinking, powder blue suits, dances at the Cocoanut Grove, betrayal, gossip columns, crazy ladies, secret Jews, film lot moguls, and Dorothy Parker quips at funerals. If the world is still around then, it should be out from Random House around 2014. So let's hope the Mayans were wrong.

If you want to say hi please do. Or find me in short form, here.

i just saw into the wild and i have really mixed feelings about it; when i read the book i had a far less sympathetic reading on tragic-wanderluster christopher mccandless than sean penn seems to have; i felt that at the end of the day, chris was confused and angry and really wanted an escape, rather than a sense of nature’s greater power. that said, it was beautifully shot (i want to go back to alaska please), and i LOVED the music. rock me gently, eddie vedder.
