About
Bea Setton was born in Paris to Franco-British parents and has lived in the US, Colombia, Belgium, Germany, and the UK. Currently residing in Oxford, Mississippi, she is working on her third book, a Southern Gothic novel set in the Deep South. Her first novel, Berlin, was critically acclaimed in the New York Times, The Guardian, The Washington Post, the Financial Times, and The Times Literary Supplement, among others.
Setton is interested in philosophy and enjoys reading a good coming-of-age story or thriller. Her favourite writers include Sylvia Plath, Patricia Highsmith, Donna Tartt, Ottessa Moshfegh, Daphne Du Maurier, Brandon Taylor, Naghib Mahfouz, Phillip Pullman, Frank O’Hara, Sayaka Murata, and Orhan Pamuk. When her nose is not in a book, Setton can be found playing soccer, watching Twin Peaks, listening to some old Kanye, or sitting on the floor drinking tea, as seen to the left.
