Lauren Elkin

Lauren Elkin is an American-French writer, translator, and critic based in Paris. Her book Art Monsters explores the idea of the female artist as 'monster' — a creator who refuses to conform to expectations of femininity, domesticity, and politeness in order to make art. Elkin's work is informed by feminist theory, art history, and cultural criticism. Her audiobook offers listeners a bold, intellectually stimulating exploration of creativity, gender, and the price women pay for making art on their own terms.
