Portugal’s Ana Cristina Pessao (1961-), co-created with Jessica Pujol, says Don't Leave Me and Don't Leave the EUOIA (European Union Of Imaginary Authors).
Ana
Cristina Pessao is a grand-niece of Nympha Negra who, when
young, was a collaborator on O Palrador, 1902, and a forgotten author of
charades. Pessao’s ‘Letters to Nympha Negra’ shares the Gothic streak of her
dead relative’s work and is notable for a certain self-revelatory excess. ‘This
is dark writing with a layer of skin missing,’ writes the leading Portuguese
critic, Joao Pacheco, with some distaste.
