Cécile Guilbert, essayist, novelist and literary critic, is author of work that is as diverse as it is original. Combining a unique freedom of tone and a sharp critical approach, she has no problem addressing the work of Saint-Simon, Guy Debord, Laurence Sterne and, most recently, Andy Warhol. Warhol Spirit (for which she was awarded the Prix Médicis de l'essai) is a rare object in which the style has as much to say as the polymorphous content. It is filled with citations, notes, reflections and dialogues with the work of the polymath artist. In her latest work, Sans entraves et sans temps morts, Cécile Guilbert uses over fifty different texts to develop a very clear vision of the art of writing which involves tasting, reading, seeing, feeling, listening, touching and loving.

Adam Thirlwell was born in 1978. After studying Arts at Oxford, he became Assistant Chief-Editor of the literary review, Areté. His first novel, Politics (2003), which led him to feature on the Granta list of the twenty best young British writers and for which he was awarded the Betty Trask in 2003, is filled with references to great authors with which he knows how to play with much finesse and humour, falling between pastiche, parody and tribute. The Times classified Politics as one of the funniest, most eloquent and original books we have seen for years. In his latest novel, Miss Herbert, he continues to live up to this reputation, offering an almost epic trip through literature in tackling the question of translation.
