It’s a breezy, scandalous read that uses the Clintons as a way of thinking about power, gender, race, and the force of charisma in American politics. Rodham explores an alternate universe in which Hillary Rodham never married Bill Clinton. So I’m thrilled to announce that at the end of July, Sittenfeld will be joining the Vox Book Club live on Zoom to discuss her latest novel, Rodham. And ever since, Sittenfeld has continued putting out thoughtful, tender novels about femininity, class, and American ambition. Like everyone else, I had my mind blown in 2005 by Prep, Sittenfeld’s achingly authentic debut novel about a young girl’s coming of age at an exclusive New England boarding school. For my money, Curtis Sittenfeld has for years been one of the most exciting contemporary American authors out there.
