Other work by Natalie Robins...

Praise for Living In The Lightning

"Having read several cancer journals I must say this is the most clear and insightful of the lot. Not just a collection of experiences, Ms. Robins gets to the true feelings of a lymphoma survivor."
Lymphoma Information Network

Praise for The Girl Who Died Twice

"Investigative journalism at its best. A suburb account of a case that, 'after a century of tradition,' began to change medical education... A serious study and a page-turner... Dazzling."
Susan Garrett, The Washington Post

"A tragedy of such epic proportions has found the chronicler it has so long needed... Natalie Robins vividly re-creates the events of that desperate night and its rancorous aftermath in meticulous detail... The most knowledgeable and even-handed critique of our nation's system of medical residency training that I have yet seen in a book for general readers... A triumph of writing and a tribute to its author's compassion and insight... Robins' book will bring new reportorial and literary standards to its genre."
Sherwin Nuland, MD, author of "How We Die," winner of the National Book Award

"A devastating expose of how modern teaching hospitals work."
Journal of the American Medical Association

"Robins lands squarely on a most interesting question: How can we balance the need of young physicians to assume responsibility for patients against the need of patients to have experienced doctors?....The Girl Who Died Twice is a thorough recounting of the Libby Zion story...."
The New England Journal of Medicine

"A balanced, informative and highly reaadable account, and a valuable insight into American medical education and practice..."

"The definitive file on the FBI's files on writers and journalists."

"Utterly absorbing and superbly researched... Anyone interested in the FBI's decades-long war against the American writer... owes Natalie Robins an enormous debt of gratitude."
Henry Louis Gates, Jr., New York Newsday

"Required reading for anyone interested in modern American intellectual history."
David Traxel, The New York Times Book Review

"An important... entertaining book."

Praise for Savage Grace

"A story of spectacular decadence... Seldom has there been so devastating an exposure of the consequences , for the most sophisticated people, of failure in the simplest duties of love."
William F. Buckley, Jr.

"An American fable of enduring resonance... macabre piece of Americana."
Newsweek

"A family saga with plot twists worthy of "Dynasty," - or Tennessee Williams. There is a mythic quality to the Baekeland story, one that echoes Greek tragedy, but with peculiarly American twists. Ascinating... macbre."
The New York Times
