Camille Bordas is the author of three previous prize-winning novels, Partie Commune, Les Treize Desserts and How to Behave in a Crowd, the first two of which were written in her native French before she began to write in English. Her short stories appear regularly in the New Yorker. Born in Paris, raised in Mexico City, she lives in Chicago.
‘Rehearsing in front of the mirror was for actors, according to them, not comedians. It was for vain people. A good comedian was the opposite of vain, they said.’
