Manon Uphoff

Her most recent novel Vallen is als vliegen (2019) was shortlisted for the 2019 Bookspot Literatuurprijs and the 2020 Libris Literatuurprijs and has been translated into English, Spanish and Hungarian. Her literary work often includes references to Greek mythology and visual art, but her personal life and experiences are also important themes. 

In her visual art, she works with photography, paper, drawing, painting and video. She is also a member of Fixdit (https://fixdit.nu/), a writers' collective that fights against gender inequality and advocates for more diversity in the literary canon and literary world. 

Her oeuvre was awarded the triennial Charlotte Köhler Prijs in 2020.
