Jeannette Walls’ non-fiction includes two very different books. Dish (2000) is a behind-the-scenes look at the world of celebrity gossip journalism, drawn from her years as a columnist for New York magazine and MSNBC. The Glass Castle (2005) is the memoir that made her famous, describing a childhood spent in near-constant motion with parents who lived outside the rules of mainstream society.
The Glass Castle spent more than six years on the New York Times bestseller list and was adapted into a 2017 film starring Brie Larson. It remains one of the most widely read memoirs of the 21st century.
