Jane Kramer
Jane Kramer (born August 7, 1938) is an American journalist. She began her writing career at the Village Voice, moving to The New Yorker in 1964, where she remains a staff writer. Her books Allen Ginsberg in America (1969) and Honor to the Bride (1970), based on her travels in Morocco, were developed from long-form New Yorker articles.

Other books are The Last Cowboy (1977) and Lone Patriot (2003), the latter about a militia in the American West. Both books also explore downward mobility in America. Biography
