Nobody's Looking at You brings together previously uncompiled pieces, mainly from the New Yorker and New York Review of Books. The title of this wonderfully eclectic collection comes from one of its profiles, of the fashion designer Eileen Fisher, from one of her mother's favourite reproofs. But in every piece in this volume, Malcolm looks closely and with impunity at a broad range of subjects, from Donald Trump's TV nemesis Rachel Maddow, to the stiletto-heel-wearing pianist Yuju Wang, from the 'big-league game' of Supreme Court confirmation hearings to the battleground of Tolstoy translation.
