After the best-selling Winter in Sokcho (2016) and The Pachinko Balls (2018), Elisa Shua Dusapin gave birth to a third novel last August: Vladivostok Circus (2020), which tells the story of Nathalie, a costume designer who travels to a circus in Vladivostok, Russia, on assignment. She has to create outfits for a trio of artists practicing the Russian barre. But between language barriers, shyness and downright discomfort, Nathalie struggles to carve out a place for herself in the group. A group that would represent society, in all its complex human relationships? Meet the author to find out more about her novel and herself.
