The Bullfighter Checks Her Makeup: My Encounters With Extraordinary People

The author of The Orchid Thief is back - and she's brought some friends - in this collection of the acclaimed New Yorker writer's best and brightest profiles. Meet more than thirty-five of Susan Orlean's favorite people - from the well known (Bill Blass and Tonya Harding) to the unknown (a typical ten-year-old boy) to the formerly known (the 1960s girl group the Shaggs).
