Winner of the Anna Seghers Prize, the Ryszard Kapuscinski Award, and shortlisted for the International Booker Prize, she has garnered an incredible amount of celebration by the age of 41. Her work explores violence, self-loathing, class disparity, and the stories we tell ourselves in justification of horrific acts.
