Biography


Allegra Goodman was born in Brooklyn, New York, and raised in Hawaii.[2] The daughter of Lenn and Madeleine Goodman,[3] she was brought up as a Conservative Jew.[4] Her mother, who died in 1996, was a professor of genetics and women's studies, then assistant vice president at the University of Hawaii at Manoa for many years, before moving on to Vanderbilt University in the 1990s.[5] Her father, Lenn E. Goodman,[5] is a professor of philosophy at Vanderbilt.

Goodman graduated from Punahou School in 1985. She then went on to Harvard University, where she earned an A.B. degree and met her husband, David Karger. Both were regulars at Harvard Hillel, and prayed in Harvard Hillel Orthodox Minyan. They then went on to do graduate work at Stanford University, where Goodman earned a Ph.D. degree in English literature, in 1996.[3]

Goodman's younger sister, Paula Fraenkel, is an oncologist. Fraenkel's experience in research labs is one of the inspirations for Goodman's 2006 novel Intuition.[6]

Her short story "La Vita Nuova" was selected for The Best American Short Stories 2011 and was broadcast on Public Radio International's Selected Shorts in February 2012.[7]

Goodman and Karger live in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where Karger is a professor in computer science[8] at MIT. They have four children, three boys and a girl.[4]
