>Sheila Kohler is the author of nine books of fiction, including three 
>collections of short stories and six novels.  Her work has won many 
>prizes, including two O. Henry Awards, the Smart Family Foundation Award, 
>and the Willa Cather Prize.  Much of her earlier work derived from her 
>life in South Africa and Paris; her most recent novel, Bluebird or the 
>Invention of Happiness, is set in 18th-century France.  Based on 
>historical events, it has been described by one reviewer as a gripping 
>fictionalized account of a young 18th-century woman who was resourceful 
>and daring not just for that age but for all ages, and another has said: 
>This important book focuses our attention on issues of freedom and 
>self-government that are apropos today and on . . . the deep-rooted 
>differences between America and Europe that we still face.
>
>Ms. Kohler has taught creative writing at a number of colleges and 
>universities, and currently teaches at Princeton.
>
>"There is a territory--fictional and psychological--that Sheila Kohler has 
>now marked as her own. I am full of admiration."                 - J. M. 
>Coetzee
