Born to Norwegian immigrants in Minnesota, Siri Hustvedt has written four novels, namely the famous What I Loved. With The Sorrows of an American (2008) she plunges the reader into the inner world of an American psychoanalyst weighed down by family secrets and traumatised by the tragedy of September 11. She brilliantly describes the subconscious of an America attached to its fundamental values and weakened by the great tragedies which afflict it today.

Bibliography: Plaidoyer pour Éros (Actes Sud ) Élégie pour un Américain (Actes Sud )
