A titan of American letters, Janet Malcolm was a writer with a far-reaching impact and cultlike following, even as she actively opposed being a literary celebrity. For The Absent Woman, journalist Eve Sneider, one of the first to be given access to Malcolm’s archive, creates a portrait of this notoriously private writer and her work, delving into the people and themes that consumed her over a fifty-year career. From questions of narrative form to cultural criticism, psychoanalysis, and the role of subjectivity, Sneider explores these obsessions of Malcolm’s through her manuscript drafts, lauded but controversial books, photographs, correspondence, art, and interviews with those who knew her. The Absent Woman grapples with the ethical questions of writing biographical profiles, which led to highly publicized trials between former Freudian psychoanalyst Jeffrey Masson and Malcolm, and illustrates the many ways in which Malcolm’s essays and books were vehicles for Malcolm to understand herself.

When you know of Janet Malcolm, you spot traces of her everywhere. You understand that she was a titan of the written word - a longtime New Yorker staff writer, member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters and National Book Award finalist - with a far-reaching impact and cult-like following. But if you don't know to look for her name, it is easy to miss - unlike some of her contemporaries, Malcolm was actively opposed to being a literary celebrity, even while famously controversial for challenging the notion of journalism's objectivity. The Absent Woman plumbs the Malcolm archives to uncover a portrait of this notoriously private writer and her work, and of the people and themes that she was consumed by in her over sixty-year career. From questions of narrative and truth to criticism and psychoanalysis to her decade-long case with Jeffrey Masson and the attacks she got from other critics, Eve Sneider reads Malcolm's obsessions in essays and books alongside her photographs, correspondence and episodes from her life - and illustrates the many ways in which Malcolm's writing about other people was a vehicle for her to understand herself.
