Bestselling French author Anne Berest returns to the podcast to discuss GABRIËLE, an atmospheric and exuberant novel about love, sex, art, revolution, and the life of her great-grandmother Gabriële Buffet-Picabia—muse and revolutionary partner to artist Francis Picabia. Anne discusses the legacy of creativity and pain in her lineage, the invisible labor of women who shape art behind the scenes, the fun she had co-writing with her sister, and the impact of being embraced by American readers. She also touches on her other book, THE POSTCARD, which began with an anonymous postcard listing the names of her Jewish relatives murdered during WWII, sparking an investigation into her family’s history and inherited trauma. You can listen to that episode, too!
