In an essay called \"Socks,\" the Pevears are seen as the \"sort of asteroid [that] has hit the safe world of Russian Literature in English translation,\" and in \"Dreams and Anna Karenina,\" the focus is Tolstoy, \"one of literature's greatest masters of manipulative techniques.\" \u003ci\u003eNobody's Looking at You \u003c\/i\u003econcludes with \"Pandora's Click,\" a brief, cautionary piece about e-mail etiquette that was written in the early two thousands, and that reverberates--albeit painfully--to this day.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJanet Malcolm\u003c\/b\u003e (1934- 2021) was the author of many books, including \u003ci\u003eIn the Freud Archives\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Journalist and the Murderer\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eTwo Lives: Alice and Gertrude\u003c\/i\u003e, which won the 2008 PEN\/Jacqueline Bograd Weld Award for Biography, and \u003ci\u003eForty-One False Starts\u003c\/i\u003e, which was a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review \u003c\/i\u003eNotable Book and a finalist for the 2013 National Book Critics Circle Award for Criticism.
