Lisa Appignanesi
Lisa Appignanesi was born in Poland and grew up in France and Canada. A novelist and writer, she is former deputy director of the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London, chair of the Freud Museum in London and deputy president of English PEN. She is the author (with John Forrester) of the classic study FREUD’S WOMEN and of many bestselling novels, including most recently THE MEMORY MAN – ‘what gives this wonderfully sparse book its tension and grasp as the clashes between two movements – like two cymbals being brought together, the movement backwards of memory, and the movement forwards of consequences. And so it speaks history, and one cannot stop listening’ – John Berger.) She has been made a Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French government in recognition of her contribution to literature. Lisa Appignanesi lives in London.
