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.

If you are able to get out to Long Island City on Friday night (and also, if you are in NYC to begin with), Michael Pollan, the author and food sociologist will be speaking at 7pm for free. Pollan wrote The Omnivore’s Dilemma and In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto both centered on the really interesting debate these days about food production, ethics, and slow food/raw farming. I’ve been really interested in these things since my friend Tod, a food activist, rolled into town and got me all riled up about what really goes in our mouths. Could be interesting if you have a free hour or so after work.

Event info here.
