Nicole Simek

I couldn't find too much information on her, but she is the Assistant Professor of Foreign Languages and Literatures at Whitman college, so here's what I found:















Specializing in French Caribbean literature, Professor Simek is the author of Eating Well, Reading Well: Maryse Condé and the Ethics of Interpretation. She has published articles on Baudelaire's figuration of the reader, female friendship in French literature, Caribbean women's autobiography, parody in French Caribbean novels, and trauma theory, and has co-edited volumes devoted to literary cannibalism (Feasting on Words: Maryse Condé, Cannibalism, and the Caribbean Text, Princeton: PLAS, 2006) and representations of trauma in French and Francophone literature (Dalhousie French Studies, Winter 2007). She is currently working on the deployment of humor in the Antillean novel. Her wider research interests include the intersection of politics and literature in Caribbean fiction, trauma theory, and sociological approaches to literature. Professor Simek holds a B.A. and an M.A. in French from Case Western Reserve University, and received her Ph.D. from Princeton University in 2005.
