Siri Hustvedt + Asti Hustvedt

The publishing schedule of two talented writers who are also sisters just happens to collide. Asti Hustvedt's new nonfiction title, Medical Muses, looks at three patients in a 19th-century Parisian hysteria ward and the dubious fame they achieved. The Summer Without Men, Siri Hustvedt's new novel, follows a middle-aged woman who returns to her hometown after breaking with an unfaithful husband.
