Nicole Krauss is the author of the novels The History of Love and Man Walks into A Room. Her short fiction has been published in Harper’s, The New Yorker, Esquire, and Best American Short Stories. Until she began her first novel in 2002, Krauss wrote mostly poetry. Her first novel, Man Walks Into A Room, is a meditation on memory and personal history. The History of Love wove together the stories of an 80-year-old man, a young woman, and a lost manuscript. First published as an excerpt in The New Yorker, the novel was an international bestseller, garnered numerous awards, and is set to be made into a movie directed by Alfonso Cuaron. In 2007, she was selected as one of Granta’s Best Young American Novelists. Her newest novel, Great House, is a breathtaking tale of an enormous, secret-containing desk, those who come into possession of it, and of the burden of inheritance.
