Lucy Ellmann Biography

Lucy Ellmann was born in Evanston Illinois but was dragged to England as a bitter and confused teenager. She always meant to return to the U.S. but somehow it never happened. She has also written seven novels. Sweet Desserts which won the Guardian Fiction Prize is about two sisters not about desserts. Varying Degrees of Hopelessness is loosely based on a year Ellmann spent as an Art History student at the Courtauld Institute in London. Man or Mango? A Lament is a trans-Atlantic love story with really very little to do with mangoes. Dot in the Universe follows a shallow woman through death to reincarnation as a possum and beyond. Doctors & Nurses is a happy tale of sadistic medical malpractice. Mimi is about a plastic surgeon who sees the light. And Ellmann wrote a short film The Spy Who Caught a Cold (Channel 4) about a nosy child at a chilly British nudist camp. Her book Ducks Newburyport was on the longlist for the Booker Prize. It is the leading literary award in the English speaking world which has brought recognition reward and readership to outstanding fiction for over 50 years. It is awarded annually to the best novel of the year written in English and published in the UK or Ireland.
