Timeline
Tama Janowitz (born April 12, 1956) is an American novelist and a short story writer.
Her parents, psychiatrist Julian Janowitz and Phyllis Janowitz (née Winer), a literature professor at Cornell University, divorced when she was ten.
She and her brother David grew up with her mother in Massachusetts, and, for two years in the late 1960s, in Israel.
Calhoun wrote, "This memoir—which spans her childhood (partly spent in 1968 Israel, where her family was booted from a hotel for not paying), her adventuresome youth (she had a fling with a 63-year-old Lawrence Durrell when she was 19), her career struggles and successes, and her more recent life as caretaker to her dying mother — shows that she comes by her obsession with money honestly."
Janowitz graduated from Barnard College with a B.A. in 1977 and from Hollins College with an M.A. in 1979.
In 1985 she received an M.F.A from the Columbia University School of the Arts.
Upon settling in New York City, Janowitz started writing about life there, socializing with Andy Warhol, and becoming well known in Manhattan literary and social circles.
Her 1986 collection of short stories, Slaves of New York, brought her wider fame.
Publishers Weekly described the book as seven stories featuring a woman named Eleanor, "a diffident young woman who gains entree to the arty milieu of lower Manhattan, which seems to combine elements of Oz and Never-Never-Land with Dante's Inferno."
Janowitz wrote the screenplay and also appeared, playing Peters' friend.
Janowitz has published seven novels, one collection of stories and one work of nonfiction.
She left Manhattan to live in Brooklyn with her British husband and art-gallery owner, Tim Hunt, and their daughter.
She now lives near Ithaca, New York.
Her memoir, Scream: A Memoir of Glamour and Dysfunction, was published in August 2016 to reviews both positive and negative.
In The New York Times Book Review, Ada Calhoun noted Janowitz's deadpan, almost careless way of looking at her own life and the glamor of hanging out with Andy Warhol and dancing at Studio 54.
The review also addressed the concern with material goods and financial security that drives many of Janowitz's novels and led her to appear in ads for Amaretto and other products.
