Dominique Fabre, born in 1960, writes about people living on society’s margins. He is a lifelong resident of Paris. His previous novel, The Waitress Was New, has also been translated into English.
“Refreshingly audacious and stirringly sophisticated, And the Bride Closed the Door presents the reader with a sharp-edged piece of social and feminist critique, hidden by a veil of wit and humor. Jessica Cohen’s masterful translation further enhances the rare and intricate voice of Ronit Matalon, one of Israel’s leading female authors, whose sudden passing shocked and saddened lovers of Hebrew literature worldwide.”
