Cleopatra's Nose is a collection of essays written by cultural critic and author Judith Thurman. On The Book Review podcast in an episode titled Steve Bannon's Road to the White House published on July 18, 2024, guest Parul Sehgal brought up the book during the conversation. Sehgal inquired of the other participants whether any of them had read the publication, indicating that she had been perusing it herself. By introducing the collection into the literary discussion, she highlighted its presence among contemporary essayistic works and prompted a shared exploration of Thurman's distinct critical voice. The mention underscored the appeal of Thurman's writing for readers seeking thoughtful cultural commentary, art criticism, and biographical portraits. Although the remarks were brief, Sehgal's inquiry placed the essay collection into the broader dialogue of recommended reading materials among literary critics, pointing to its engaging style and intellectual depth as notable features that warrant discussion among avid readers and writers alike.
