Catherine Cusset (born in Paris, May 16, 1963) is a best-selling French novelist and the author of Life of David Hockney: A Novel (Other Press, 2019),[1][2] The Story of Jane (Simon & Schuster, 2001),[3][4] and 12 other novels published by Éditions Gallimard between 1990 and 2018.[5] Some of her novels (Jouir, La Haine de la famille, Confessions d'un radine, and New York, Journal d’un cycle) are described as autofiction, a French literary movement that is a hybrid of fiction and autobiography.[6] Others are more romantic, but all share some recurring themes: the family, desire, and cultural conflicts between France and America. She stands out from her contemporaries with a direct, incisive, visual form of writing, marked by the influence of Anglo-Saxon novelists.
