About the Author
Elvia Wilk is a writer and critic whose work explores the intersections of technology, environment, and human experience in contemporary society. Based in Berlin, she draws from her background in art and architecture to craft narratives that probe the disorienting effects of modern life on personal and collective psyches. Wilk's debut novel, Oval, published in English and German as Oval: Roman, has been praised for its incisive portrayal of a young couple navigating ambition and alienation in a near-future New York. Her essays and journalism appear in outlets like The New York Times Magazine, Frieze, and n+1, where she examines the cultural implications of climate change and digital innovation. Wilk holds an MFA from Columbia University and continues to lecture on speculative fiction and urban ecology.
