Nancy Bachrach

The Center of the Universe: A Memoir

Nancy Bachrach worked in advertising in New York and Paris, spinning hot air like cotton candy, and glorifying her clients' beloved denture adhesives and powdered orange-juice substitutes. Before that, she was a teaching assistant in the philosophy department at Brandeis University, where she was one chapter ahead of her class. She lives in New York City. This is her first book.
