ANNE BEREST

Writer, screenwriter, playwright and actress.  In 2017, with her sister Claire Berest, Anne wrote a biography of their great-grandmother Gabrièle Buffet-Picabia, drawing long overdue attention to Gabrièle’s often overlooked life and influence in the art world, specifically within the Dada movement. This was followed by Anne’s first novel, based on a true story and years of research, La Carte Postale, nominated for the 2021 Prix Goncourt.

FEATURED BOOK: The Postcard. A fictional enquiry into Anne’s Jewish family history during World War Two, told through the eyes of Noémie Rabinovitch, a 19-old aspiring writer. Tr. Tina Cover, Europa Editions, 2023.
