MEG WOLITZER

New York Times best-selling author Meg Wolitzer explores gender politics, motherhood, sexuality, the life of the artist, and more in dynamic and critically acclaimed works such as The Uncoupling, The Ten-Year Nap, and The Interestings.

Wolitzer is also the author of New York Times adult novel bestsellers The Position, This is My Life, and Sleepwalking. Her bestseller The Wife was adapted for the screen with Oscar Award nominee Glenn Close in the lead role. In addition, she has penned The Fingertips of Duncan Dorfman, a novel about Scrabble for middle-grade readers, as well as the young adult novel Belzhar. Her short fiction has been published in The Best American Short Stories and The Pushcart Prize. She most recently published The Female Persuasion.

A Master of Fine Arts instructor at Stony Brook Southampton, Wolitzer discusses her work and the challenges of being a female writer. In her engaging lectures, she draws from the themes of her books, adding entertaining anecdotes and thoughtful insights into her craft and journey as a novelist. She was also a guest artist in the Princeton Atelier program at Princeton University in September 2013.

Meg Wolitzer lives in New York City with her family.
