She has published a dozen short stories and three novels: De vengeance (2017) [Of Vengeance, trans. Read More Pablo Strauss, 2019], Aquariums (2019) [Aquariums, trans. Pablo Strauss, 2022], and La vallée de l’étrange (2023). At once scientific and humanistic, her writing explores our relationship with technology and the land.
