Julia Langbein brings a uniquely eclectic background to her fiction debut.
A longtime sketch and standup comedian, she holds a doctorate in Art History and authored Laugh Lines (Bloomsbury Visual Arts, 2022), a nonfiction exploration of comic art criticism.
She gained early internet fame through The Bruni Digest (2003–7), a viral comedy blog satirizing New York Times restaurant critic Frank Bruni.
Her writing has appeared in publications including Gourmet, Eater, Salon, and Frieze, covering food, art, and travel.
Originally from Chicago, she now lives outside of Paris with her family.
