Donna Woolfolk Cross brengt met een scherpe blik voor taal en media haar literaire exploraties tot leven. Haar werken duiken in de manier waarop woorden en mediaberichten onze gedachten en percepties van de wereld vormgeven. Na jaren van toegewijd onderzoek en schrijven, vestigde Cross zich met haar debuutroman, wat haar positie als een belangrijke auteur verstevigde. Momenteel werkt ze aan een nieuwe roman die zich afspeelt in het 17e-eeuwse Frankrijk, waarmee ze haar verkenning van historische en culturele thema's voortzet.
