The Makings of a Nobody
(2021)

Influenced by the Women's Movement, Ann Z. Leventhal artfully crafts a

fictmoir (a memoir written in part from other people's points of view, as the author imagined them) with wit and insights. Ann tells the story of an ordinary New York Jew who married a lawyer, gave birth four times, and overcame a diagnosis of epilepsy and depression.

As a masterful storyteller, Ann takes you on a colorful journey of a love affair, freaked-out children, psychotherapy, sexism, attracting a genius, surviving her oldest son's suicide, and breast cancer.

Ann has endured prosperously, celebrating her own invisibility in this

engaging read!

"Ann Z. Leventhal's book is a unique hybrid, the likes of which I have never read before."

                                       Wally Lamb

This "book is consistently interesting and entertaining (not like giving a dinner party, but like having people over). I especially admire the concept of telling the story from others’ points of view.”

                                      Hilma Wolitzer
