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.

Josh Ritter - Wolves
Josh is probably my favorite singer/songwriter of the last five years. There is something about his music that is so joyful, then sad, then joyful again. His songs feel like an accurate reflection of real life, which is sometimes all you really want from a corn-fed whiskey drinker with a guitar.
