Born in Chicago and raised in White Plains, New York, she joined the English department at Cornell University in 1970, where she taught courses on children's literature, among others. Her first novel, \u003ci\u003eLove and Friendship\u003c\/i\u003e (1962), is a story of romance and deception among the faculty of a snowbound New England college. It won favorable reviews and established her as a keen observer of love in academia. It was followed by the well-received \u003ci\u003eThe Nowhere City\u003c\/i\u003e (1966) and \u003ci\u003eThe War Between the Tates\u003c\/i\u003e (1974). In 1984, she published \u003ci\u003eForeign Affairs\u003c\/i\u003e, her best-known novel, which traces the erotic entanglements of two American professors in England. It won the Pulitzer Prize in 1985. Her most recent novel is \u003ci\u003eThe Last Resort\u003c\/i\u003e (1998). In addition to her novels, Lurie's interest in children's literature led to three collections of folk tales and two critical studies of the genre. Lurie officially retired from Cornell in 1998, but continued to teach and write in the years following. In 2012, she was awarded a two-year term as the official author of the state of New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 258\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 01, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48741421646045,"sku":"9798337211589","price":28.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/PIYMb4w_eQ9798337211589.webp?v=1789883440","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/love-and-friendship-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
