Marie
Darrieussecq at Transit Books

Salon conversation between Marie Darrieussecq and publisher Adam Levy about her two newly translated novels, How to Make a Woman and Our Life in the Forest, both published in English by Transit Books. How to Make a Woman follows two childhood friends coming of age in the French Basque Country of the 1980s; Our Life in the Forest centres on a woman in a near-future world reflecting on her failing body, her clone and the opaque mechanisms of the society that shaped them. Darrieussecq is a novelist, a translator of James Baldwin and a former psychoanalyst. Part of her November Bay Area and Seattle tour. Registration is offered in advance.
