Hello, I'm Rachel.
Lady biographer. New Mexican tumbleweed blown east to skyscraper country.
Currently: 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, 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 LOVE LOVE the new site, Big Think, which launched today and which the Times calls a “You Tube for intellectuals”, but it’s more than that. Here is an interview from the beta launch, an interview with Dana Gioia, my pretty much hero and the head of the national endownment for the arts. Take 20 minutes with this site and you’ll thank me. For reals.
