And when the adaptation of those rights and Jessica Pressler’s New York magazine feature made its way to TV screens on Friday, in Inventing Anna, Williams was shocked to see the degree to which the series sympathized with Sorokin ( Julia Garner).

She purged her recollections of the traumatic friendship in an essay for Vanity Fair and, later, a book, My Friend Anna.
