Jeanne (a new edition of Prétend) is now available for pre-order from Moist Books. 


Praise for Jeanne 


"This captivating book strikes lightning-fast, making exhilarating connections across place, language, and identity. Arielle Burgdorf creates a propulsive, poetically torqued narrative where cities, translation, and name changes are all scenery in a stunning search for belonging and honesty. " —NATE LIPPENS, author of Ripcord and My Dead Book 


"Sexy, sad, super smart. Written with a translator's complicated love of language and a flâneur's understanding that one can never go home. I loved this sleek and adventurous book." —LINDSAY LERMAN author of What Are You and I'm From Nowhere

Praise for Prétend 


"a clever, sexy, moving & playful novel about literary translation, control, language, & selfhood.” - Jen Calleja, translator and author of Vehicle: a verse novel, Dust Sucker, and I’m Afraid That’s All We’ve Got Time For 


"As its protagonist cycles through names, cultures and countries in a journey of self and soul, Burgdorf's passion for language itself is a beautiful lodestar, a leitmotif woven into the fabric of the story. Like a knife to a whetstone, Prétend gives off sparks." - Alex Manley, author of the New Masculinity and translator of Made-Up 


"Burgdorf’s writing is poetic and captivating" - The Washington City Paper
