Do New York Woman and On Our Backs deal with the same subject matter?
New York Woman New York Woman was a magazine that blended features on fashion and the arts, literary and humorous essays, and consumer-oriented services pieces such as reviews of restaurants, shops or films. Its target audience was intelligent women living in the New York Metropolitan area. It was launched as a bimonthly by the Esquire Magazine Group Inc. in 1986. The first issue was published in September-October of that year. The mergers-and-acquisitions specialist Bruce Wasserstein of Wasserstein Perella reportedly brokered the magazine's sale to American Express Publishing, publisher of "Travel + Leisure" and "Food & Wine".
My Soul Looks Back My Soul Looks Back: A Memoir is a memoir by cookbook author and food historian Jessica B. Harris. Harris published the 255-page book with Scribner on March 9, 2017. "Publisher's Weekly" described the book as "a lively, entertaining, and informative recounting of a time and place that shaped and greatly enriched American culture," namely Harris's life as a young person in New York City in the 1970s amid black luminaries including James Baldwin, Maya Angelou, and Toni Morrison; Harris was introduced to this circle through her romantic relationship with Sam Floyd, Baldwin's best friend. Reviewing the book for "The New York Times", critic Dwight Garner described it as having a "simmering warmth" and "was never, to this reader, uninteresting" even if it also had a "softness of focus", suggesting at times the book fails to "recall the best lines and jokes" from the literati Harris describes.
