Anne Berest
Anne Berest (born September 15, 1979) is a French writer and actress. Biography 
In 2008 she adapted Patrick Modiano's short autobiography Un Pedigree for the theatre with Edouard Baer. , son of Françoise Sagan asked Berest to write about the creation of his mother's novel, Bonjour Tristesse. The resulting book, Sagan 1954, was well received by critics: Berest "searched for and found les mot justes." In 2017, with her sister Claire Berest, she wrote a biography of her great-grandmother Gabrièle Buffet-Picabia. With Gabriële, the Berest sisters succeeded in bringing attention to their great-grandmother's often overlooked life and influence in the art world, specifically within the Dada movement. La carte postale (The Postcard), an enquiry into her Jewish family's past during World War Two, made the final selection for the 2021 Prix Goncourt as well as the Prix Renaudot. Books
