Author Information

Wiebke Petersen, aka Zelba, was born in West Germany in 1973. Before becoming an illustrator, she was world junior rowing champion. In 2019, she published her first book, Dans le meme bateau, an autobiographical account of her experience as a top sportswoman in East Germany at the time of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Two years later, she returned with another autobiographical story, Mes mauvaises filles, about the right to die with dignity. With Le Grand Incident, she offers us a 'fantasticomic' tale of the sexualization of the female body in art. Alice Yang is a PhD student in French at Yale University. Her translation ofAbounding Freedom, a collection of prose poetry by Julien Gracq, was published by World Poetry Books in 2024. She divides her time between New Haven, Conneticut, and Lyon, France.
