Bio:

Florence Marsal earned a Ph.D. from the University of Connecticut in 2004. Her dissertation, now a book manuscript, which will be published by Paradigme, studies the various ways in which Jacques Roubaud, a contemporary French author, borrows the technique of narrative interlacing from 13th Century Arthurian prose romances, in order to gain a deeper understanding of the memory process in his pseudo-autobiography. She has written numerous articles in Contemporary French and Francophone Studies (formerly known as Sites), L’Esplumeoir, as well as L’Harmattan publishing house, and Foreign Language Annals.
