Judith Rossner
Judith Rossner (born Judith Louise Perelman, 31 March 1935 – 9 August 2005) was an American novelist. Born and raised in the Bronx, she published her first novel, To the Precipice, in 1966, but became a household name with her fourth, Looking for Mr. Goodbar (1975) — a bestseller loosely drawn from the murder of New York schoolteacher Roseann Quinn, later filmed with Diane Keaton. Her later novels include Attachments (1977), Emmeline (1980), which Tobias Picker adapted as an opera, August (1983)...
