  <about><![CDATA[(Photograph ©Marion Ettlinger, 2005)

Sigrid Nunez is an author of five novels including her debut, A Feather on the Breath of God: A Novel (1996, ISBN 0-06-092684-8), Naked Sleeper, Mitz: The Marmoset of Bloomsbury, For Rouenna, and The Last of Her Kind. She often addresses class and violence in her novels. She chronicles a time period, such as the 1960's, socially, politically, and intimately in the eyes of women, and is perceptive about character and opinions. She is a creative writing teacher at Columbia University. She was a Berlin Prize Fellow at the American Academy in Berlin for Spring, 2005. She has received a Whiting Writers' Award and two awards from the American Academy of Arts and Letters: the Richard and Hinda Rosenthal Foundation Award and the Rome Prize in Literature.
