Shortlisted for the National Book Critics Circle Award for Autobiography (2007).

A revealing look at the power of speaking out, Writing in an Age of Silence describes Paretsky's coming of age in a time of great possibility, during the civil rights movement, the peace movement, and the women's movement. In this fascinating and personal account, Paretsky describes a life shaped by the desire to act. From the feminist movement—which triggered her aspirations to write and shaped the character of her female detective—to the Patriot Act and the liberties we have lost, Paretsky describes the struggle of one individual to find a voice. Writing in an Age of Silence chronicles the social changes that have shaped contemporary America, and mirrors a desire for freedom, both personal and political, that many Americans will relate to today.
