About her work:
Calypso (2024) is inspired by cruel migration management policies applied in EU frontier countries and the steady rise of the far-right in Europe. A stranger from the modern era arrives on the island of Calypso, the immortal nymph with the ambiguous name. She can be the one who “protects” (like she famously did once offering hospitality to Ulysses), but also the one who “covers up”, as she does today.
Ataraxia (2022) interweaves life in Paris during the pandemic with an international literary workshop in a remote province of China, that takes place just before. This is the chronicle of an inner journey, and an exploration of greed, fear and the limits of freedom, stimulated by an insatiable curiosity for the other, whoever they may be – from Omar the high school student in Paris, to the exiled Chinese poet Liu Xia.
In Insect alphabet (2018) each letter relates to an insect –an ant, a bee, a dragonfly, a louse, a praying mantis, among others– and the people who encountered it. Cutting across the genres of ‘novel’ and ‘short story’, this alphabet opens a window onto a fascinating micro-world as well as the turbulent history of Europe –from the Second World War and the Nazis to the current refugee crisis–, exploring violence, isolation and the challenge of European identity.
