Jane Kramer

Jane Kramer (born August 7, 1938) is an American journalist. She began her writing career at the ''Village Voice'', moving to ''The New Yorker'' in 1964, where she remains a staff writer. Her books ''Allen Ginsberg in America'' (1969) and ''Honor to the Bride'' (1970)'','' based on her travels in Morocco, were developed from long-form ''New Yorker'' articles.

Beginning in the 1970s, much of Kramer's reporting has been from various European locales, and since 1981 she has written a regular "Letter from Europe" for the ''New Yorker.'' Books based upon her European reporting include ''Europeans'' (1988) and ''The Politics of Memory'' (1996). Other books are ''The Last Cowboy'' (1977) and ''Lone Patriot'' (2003), the latter about a militia in the American West. Both books also explore downward mobility in America. Provided by Wikipedia
