Marie Darrieussecq’s first book, Pig Tales, became an overnight sensation and bestseller, selling more than 300,000 copies and translated into more than thirty languages—since then, she has gone on to publish twenty more, including Being Here Is Everything, a literary investigation into the life of the artist Paula Modersohn-Becker, and the novels Men, The Baby, Our Life in the Forest, and, most recently, How to Make a Woman. The New Yorker described her as France’s “best young novelist,” and she is recognized as one of the leading voices of French contemporary literature. Her novel Men was awarded the Prix Médicis and the Prix des Prix in 2013.

Anne de Marcken is a writer and interdisciplinary artist. She is author of the novel It Lasts Forever and Then It’s Over and the lyric novella The Accident: An Account. Her writing has been featured in Best New American Voices, Brick, Ploughshares, Narrative, Elastic, on NPR and elsewhere, garnering numerous awards including The Novel Prize, The Ursula K. Le Guin Fiction Prize, and the Cabell First Novel Prize. She runs the innovative small press The 3rd Thing.
