Audrey Niffenegger (born June 13, 1963) is an American writer, artist and academic.

Career

Novels

Niffenegger's debut novel, The Time Traveler's Wife, was published in 2003. A film adaptation was released in 2009. Niffennegger orginnally conceptualized The Time Traveler's Wife as a graphic novel but realized that the time travel would be difficult to capture in visualizations.[1]

In March 2009, Niffenegger sold her second novel, a literary ghost story called Her Fearful Symmetry, to Charles Scribner's Sons for an advance of $5 million.[2] The book was released on October 1, 2009[3] and is set in London's Highgate Cemetery where, during research for the book, Niffenegger acted as a tour guide.[4] Though not as huge a commercial juggernaut as The Time Traveler's Wife, this book got generally more positive critical reviews and cinched Niffenegger's reputation as a leading novelist of ideas and atmosphere.[5]

Niffenegger collaborated with Wayne McGregor on a balletic fable, Raven Girl (2013), performed at the Royal Opera House in London in 2013, 2015.[6]

She is currently{{when|date=September 2013}} working on a novel called The Chinchilla Girl in Exile.[7]

Visual books

Niffennegger has degrees from the Art Institute of Chicago and Northwestern University.[8] As a undergraduate student at the Art Institute of Chicago , Niffennegger created her own book arts major combining etching, letterpress arts and bookbinding. Her first project was called "The Adventuress," which she self-described as "a novel in pictures". Niffennegger's second novel in pictures was titled "The Three Incestuous Sisters" which she created while completing her M.F.A. at Northwestern.[8]

These two novels in pictures were subsequently published by Harry N. Abrams. The Three Incestuous Sisters was published in 2005 and tells the story of three unusual sisters who live in a seaside house; the book has been compared to the work of Edward Gorey. The Adventuress was released on September 1, 2006.

The 2004 short story "The Night Bookmobile" was serialized in 2008 in "Visual Novel" format in The Guardian.[9] The Night Bookmobile was published on October 1, 2010 by Jonathan Cape. Niffennegger intends The Night Bookmobile to be the first installment in a series titled "The Library" She is working on the second installment, called Moths of the New World, about a stolen book.[10]

Academia

Niffennegger is currently a professor in the Department of Creative Writing at Columbia College Chicago, where she cofounded the Columbia College Chicago Center for the Book and Paper Arts.[8]

Niffennegger is also the founding member of T3 or Text 3, an artist and writer's group which also performs and exhibits in Chicago. She is an alumna and board member of the Ragdale Foundation.

Personal life

Niffenegger is married to cartoonist Eddie Campbell.[11] Niffennegger and Campbell collaborated on the visual novel, Bizarre Romance to celebrate the Comics Unmasked exhibit at the British Library.[12]

Religion

Niffenegger describes herself as "somewhere in the spectrum of agnosticism and atheism" and ascribes her disbelief to her Catholic background.[13]
