Marie Fahd earned her PhD in American Literature, with a focus on Gaddis and art, at Paris Diderot University (Paris 7). Specialising in American Literature and formerly a French lecturer at the University of Michigan, she has notably contributed to the American Book Review with an article on Joseph Tabbi’s biography of William Gaddis. Her research adopts an interdisciplinary approach, chiefly focusing on the concept of indeterminacy, the challenges of representation, and the interactions between literature and painting, including the study of fictional paintings. She plans to publish an essay based on her doctoral dissertation that explores and illuminates Cubism techniques in William Gaddis’s The Recognitions. Starting in 2023, she launched her own business venture, Plume d’Excellence, specialising in professional and literary writings, translations, and transcriptions, both in French and English, catering to diverse audiences.
