Media Reviews
'Beautiful, disturbing and startlingly inventive.' Metro 'A major achievement. This is indeed writing on a grand scale in a slim volume.' Guardian 'Pits the heat of desire against the unmelting glaciers. One of the freshest, quirkiest and most radical voices in contemporary French fiction.' Michele Roberts, Independent
Author Bio
Marie Darrieussecq was born in 1969 in Bayonne, France. She is a graduate of the Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris. Her debut novel, Pig Tales (1996), was published in 34 countries and became the most popular first novel in France since the 1950s. Her second novel, My Phantom Husband (1998), became an immediate bestseller. Her third novel, Breathing Underwater, prompted Francis Gilbert in The Times to declare that 'there are very few writers who may have changed my perception of the world, but Darrieussecq is one of them'. Her fourth novel, A Brief Stay with the Living, is published in June 2003.
