Jane Kramer
Template:Short description 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.
Beginning in the 1970s, much of Kramer's reporting has been from various European locales, and since 1981 she has written a regular "Letter from Europe" for the New Yorker. Books based upon her European reporting include Europeans (1988) and The Politics of Memory (1996). 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.<ref> "Jane Kramer". Robert S.
