Dogtooth Chronicals (sic) is her debut novel charting the chronic phases of characters battling with their vices and mother nature.
Influences - Richard Farina (Been down so long it looks like up to me) who led an extraordinary but short life. Authors who toy with magic realism, from Latin Americans (Jorge Luis Borges, Alejo Carpentier, Gabriel Garcia Marquez) to Germans (Gunter Grass, Hermann Hesse) to batshit mental renegades (Hunter S. Thompson, Irvine Welsh). Authors who take the world to pieces & rebuild it to see how it works (Philip K. Dick, George Orwell, Maggie Gee). Authors who write utterly compelling fictions about people and the wild (Daphne du Maurier, Jack London).
Her favourite filmmakers are Park Chan Wook (Old Boy, I'm a Cyborg) and Michel Gondry (Science of Sleep, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind).
