★ FEATURE
Biography
Claudia Roth Pierpont turned essay writing into biographical investigation. A staff writer at The New Yorker since the early 2000s, her pieces examined cultural icons and historical figures—Friedrich Nietzsche, Katharine Hepburn, Mae West, Orson Welles, the Ballets Russes, and architectural landmarks. Her 2000 essay collection *Passionate Minds: Women Rewriting the World* juxtaposed the lives and work of major women intellectuals: Hannah Arendt, Gertrude Stein, Anaïs Nin, Ayn Rand, Margaret Mitchell, and Zora Neale Hurston. The book earned a National Book Critics Circle Award nomination. Her 2013 biography *Roth Unbound: A Writer and His Books*, published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux, became her signature work and was translated into multiple languages. A 2016 follow-up, *American Rhapsody*, used the Chrysler Building as a lens onto American cultural history. Pierpont holds a Ph.D. in Italian Renaissance art history from New York University and has taught creative journalism at both NYU and Columbia. She received a Whiting Award, Guggenheim Fellowship, and a fellowship at the Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers of the New York Public Library. As a writer and journalist, she practices long-form biographical essay, a form that demands both archival research and narrative precision. She lives in New York City and is the mother of author Julia Pierpont.
