A Q&A between Siri Hustvedt and Powell's Books, an independent bookseller serving Portland, Oregon.
"Siri Hustvedt's latest book explores why in the realms of art and literature, women still aren't treated the same as men."
Lara Feigel's review for the Financial Times. "According to the American novelist Siri Hustvedt, the likelihood of artists and scientists engaging in genuine conversation is now even smaller than it was when CP Snow delivered his lecture “The Two Cultures” in 1959."
In their advance review of A Woman Looking at Men Looking at Women: Essays on Art, Sex, and the Mind Booklist's Donna Seaman writes: "Exceptionally gifted novelist and essayist Hustvedt, on par with Marilynne Robinson, is an ardently curious, caring, and eloquent thinker and writer inspired equally by the arts, neuroscience, and philosophy.
"A wide-ranging, irreverent, and absorbing meditation on thinking, knowing, and being."
