About the Author:

Nicole Krauss is the National Book Award Finalist and New York Times bestselling author of The History of Love, Forest Dark, Great House, and Man Walks Into a Room. Her work has appeared in the New Yorker, Harper’s, Esquire, and The Best American Short Stories. She is currently the inaugural writer-in-residence at Columbia University’s Mind, Brain, and Behavior Institute.

In To Be a Man (Harper), a collection of short fiction, Krauss explores what it is to be a man and what it is to be a woman in a relationship and beyond. Set in our contemporary moment, and moving throughout the world from New York City to Tel Aviv, and from Switzerland to Japan and South America, To Be a Man illuminates with an unwavering light the forces driving human existence: sex, power, violence, passion, self-discovery, growing older. Publishers Weekly praised the book, describing it as a “triumphant first collection from Nicole Krauss [that] crisscrosses the globe in 10 ambitious stories written over two decades that wrestle with sexuality, desire, and human connection. … This is a spectacular book.”
