Get to know Louisa
My work involves interrogations of fiction, biography, science, and science fiction.
My novels include Reproduction, Trinity and Speak. Reproduction (Ecco, 2023), is the story of a woman attempting to write a novel about Mary Shelley, then turning, instead, to write a contemporary Frankenstein. Trinity was shortlisted for the International Dylan Thomas Award and the winner of the Langum Prize for historical fiction; Speak was a Best Book of the Year in NPR, Slate, the Washington Post, and Men's Journal. My poems have appeared in The New Republic and The Southwest Review, and other journals, and my essays have appeared in the New York Times, LARB, Slate, The MIT Technology Review, and Texas Monthly.
I have a BA from Harvard University and a PhD in English Literature from the University of Texas at Austin.
