Bluebeard's Workshop is a cycle of witty and provocative stories about the games people play and the tales they tell. Three stories were written and are set in New Zealand, and provide fresh and unnerving perspectives on local life. Pierre Furlan is a guest at this year's Auckland Writers and Readers Festival in May. PIERRE FURLAN is the author of five books of fiction, and is also a leading literary translator, of Paul Auster, Russell Banks, Alan Duff, Elizabeth Knox and Geoff Cush, amongst many others. He was the French writer in residence at the Randell Cottage in Wellington in 2004-2005, and was literary advisor to the Belles-Etrangeres tour of France by 12 New Zealand writers in November 2006. Born in southwestern France in 1943, Pierre Furlan spent his adolescence in California and studied at UC Berkeley. He then settled permanently in Paris. His translation of The Darling by Russell Banks won the 2006 Laure-Battaillon Prize for the best work translated into French. Bluebeard's Workshop and other stories is translated by JEAN ANDERSON, senior lecturer in French at Victoria University of Wellington.
Pierre Furlan is a leading literary translator and the author of several books in his native French.
