Anne Berest (born 15 September 1979) is a French writer and actress.
Biography
[edit | edit source]In 2008 she adapted Patrick Modiano's short autobiography Un Pedigree for the theatre with Edouard Baer.[1] Denis Westhoff, son of Françoise Sagan asked Berest to write about the creation of his mother's novel, Bonjour Tristesse.[2] The resulting book, Sagan 1954, was well received by critics: Berest "searched for and found les mot justes".[3]
In 2017, with her sister Claire Berest, she wrote a biography of her great-grandmother Gabrièle Buffet-Picabia. With Gabriële, the Berest sisters succeeded in bringing attention to their great-grandmother's often overlooked life and influence in the art world, specifically within the Dada movement.[4]
Her novel La Carte Postale (The Postcard), was published in 2021 in French [5] and translated into English in 2023 by Tina Kover. [6] The autobiographical novel is entirely based on real events that happened throughout Berest's life. [7] It tells the stories of Anne Berest's relatives' experience during World War Two by piecing together the research that Anne and her mother did to learn more about where they came from. [8] In the novel, Anne becomes determined to figure out who sent her family a mysterious postcard in 2003 with the names of their family members who died in Auschwitz written on the back. [9] In 2021 La Carte Postale made the final selection for the Prix Goncourt[10] as well as the Prix Renaudot.[11]
