Writing

She discovered literature aged 20 reading American writers such as William S. Burroughs, Hubert Selby Jr, John Fante, Jack Kerouac and Truman Capote. A meeting with French publisher Michel Luneau convinced her to start writing. Her first two novels will remain unpublished until Asphyxie comes out.
Asphyxie, published in 1996 by Editions Florent-Massot (publisher of "Baise-moi" by Virginie Despentes), was inspired by Nirvana and its singer Kurt Cobain. Ann Scott was the first writer in France to write a novel inspired by a rock band and the first to pay tribute to Kurt Cobain.
Superstars, published four years later, was a manifesto of the techno culture and gave her instant cult author status. A movie based on the book is in pre-production. She then published Poussières d'anges, series of portraits of deceased people (River Phoenix, Joey Ramone, Johnny Thunders, Edie Sedgwick...). Then came another novel, Le pire des mondes, on urban paranoïa. Her fifth book, Héroïne, can be considered a follow up to Superstars.
