Autorenporträt

Anna Biller is a filmmaker and a writer known for her feminist point of view, and for her meticulously crafted visual design. The New York Times called her cult film The Love Witch "a hothouse filled with deadly and seductive blooms," and Indiewire called her debut feature Viva "a pitch perfect resurrection of the Valley of the Dolls days of cinema." She is currently in development for a ghost movie set in medieval England. Bluebeard's Castle is her debut novel.

Rezensionen

Bluebeard's Castle [is] . a stylised retelling of the old fable that mixes self-reference and gaudy excess. Its heroine, Judith, a gothic-romance novelist, shacks up in a crumbling castle with a brooding husband; the sex, death and pricy cognac are of a wildly enjoyable piece.
