COMMITTEE’S CITATION: In vivid, well-crafted prose, Rachel Pastan’s novel In the Field brings us into the professional and private life of a dedicated female geneticist, born in the 1920s, whose challenges and sacrifices illustrate how science, far from being impersonal, is practiced by people—how the pursuit of knowledge is shaped by the social norms and preconceptions that limit our behavior as individuals, and delay the acceptance of new ideas by the scientific community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608a2868655ac75560d17463/1619728589432-LYE2VH87PFSYH59ZWGUV/Alena.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608a2868655ac75560d17463/1619728605994-PD2BSRAOAQNTDWGZQ4FN/Lady+of+the+Snakes.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608a2868655ac75560d17463/1619728626624-8OR0HO27Q4AAA0G53LQT/This+Side+of+Married.jpg Home https://www.rachelpastan.com/bio daily 0.75 2022-09-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608a2868655ac75560d17463/1619673281921-TLIVS51VB4ZVFIBKPVVM/Photo+credit+Andy+Shelter.jpg Biography - Biography Rachel Pastan’s novel In the Field, based on the life of Nobel Prize-winning geneticist Barbara McClintock, won the inaugural Science + Literature award from the National Book Foundation in 2022.

Alena was named an Editors’ Choice in the New York Times Book Review, and This Side of Married was a Barnes and Noble Discover Great New Writers Selection.

Pastan was a long-time core faculty member at the Bennington Writing Seminars and has taught fiction writing at Swarthmore College, Temple University, and elsewhere.

She has grasped, with style and authority, the Austen paradox: that women's independence can be laced with the need for love, both given and received; and that wit and a critical eye can — must — serve a moral and, finally, forgiving vision. This Side of Married may mark its author's debut, but she has commanded the dance floor like a pro. — Rosellen Brown, author of Before and After https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608a2868655ac75560d17463/1620094952628-PB4WBK0MK7TYUPHM5BST/HB-logo.jpg Books - This Side of Married https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608a2868655ac75560d17463/1620094648870-6JUX70CNU14ENG6UMGC4/indiebound-logo.png Books - This Side of Married https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608a2868655ac75560d17463/1620094793506-6TO83YW0FKXL4I5ZUWOL/Amazon-logo.png Books - This Side of Married https://www.rachelpastan.com/books/snakes monthly 0.5 2021-04-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608a2868655ac75560d17463/1619754947187-ABZB3RFD6S1UIC4IE3MU/Lady+of+the+Snakes.jpg Books - Lady of the Snakes - Both a clever academic novel and a cunning literary detective story, Lady of the Snakes is perhaps most remarkable in its unflinching and compassionate portrait of its heroine, a young woman struggling to manage the competing demands of marriage, motherhood and career.
