French Book Week: Julie Guinand

Born in Switzerland in 1989 Julie Guinand published her first novel, Survivante (Survivor) in 2019, an imaginary journal of a woman who has survived the ‘end of the world’. Praised for her fresh approach and eye for detail, Guinand approaches the universal theme of rebuilding the self after a traumatic rupture with humour and incisiveness. Her collection of short stories, Dérives asiatiques, set both in Asia and in Europe, has been described as original, elegant and refreshingly honest.

Open to writers, translators, publishers, agents, booksellers, festival directors, arts managers and journalists, ELNet is a free, collaborative hub for sharing news and views.

ELNet operates without funding or grants (unfortunately) and is therefore dependent on the passion, professionalism and dedication of our core team and on an extensive network of volunteers, supporters, partners and donors.
