About

Joanna Rakoff’s novel A Fortunate Age won the Goldberg Prize for Jewish Fiction by Emerging Writers and the Elle Readers’ Prize, and was a New York Times Editors’ Choice and a San Francisco Chronicle best seller. Her most recent book is the memoir, My Salinger Year: an irresistible memoir about literary New York in the late 90’s, a pre-digital world on the cusp of vanishing, where a young woman finds herself swept into one of the last great stories and entangled with one of the last great figures of the city. She has written for The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, Vogue, and other publications. She holds a B.A . from Oberlin College, an M.A. from University College, London and an M.F.A. from Columbia University. She lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
