Irina Reyn is the author of the novel “What Happened to Anna K.” (Touchstone/Simon& Schuster).
“It takes a lot of self-confidence to suggest that your first novel is a modern-day retelling of “Anna Karenina,” noted the New York Times. “But once you’re finished marveling at Reyn’s audacity, her formidable storytelling gift sweeps you along and keeps you turning the pages in rapt anticipation.” The San Francisco Chronicle raved that “Irina Reyn is a marvelous writer, with the ability to capture a character or set a scene in just a few sentences.”
She is also the editor of the anthology “Living on the Edge of the World: New Jersey Writers Take on the Garden State.”
Her work has also appeared in One Story, Post Road, Tin House, the Los Angeles Times, Town & Country Travel, The Forward and Nextbook, and has been widely anthologized.
Irina was born in Moscow, and currently divides her time between Brooklyn and Pittsburgh, where she is an assistant professor of English at the University of Pittsburgh.
