"Siri Hustvedt works in circles or ellipses that overlap and intersect at certain points, and all these mental spaces spin recurrent thoughts around fundamental questions of humanism."
Her latest book, A Woman Looking at Men Looking at Women, brings together her uniquely nuanced, knowledgeable, and sophisticated approach to interdisciplinary readings of science, art, and the humanities.
