She explores the somewhat deflated world of post-revolutionary Prague, guides us through the labyrinthine New York art world of the eighties, and takes us behind the one-way mirror of Salvador Minuchin's school of family therapy. And to each subject she brings the incisive skepticism and dazzling epigrammatic style that are her hallmarks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e“Why don’t more people write like [Malcolm]? . . .
