Alexandra Parrs is a French author living in Namibia where she is a member of the Windhoek Writers Club. She has published four books: La Danse Des Fantômes Aux Gros Yeux (Editions des Mots Qui Trottent, 2019); La Putain de Flaubert (Editions Rod, 2017); Gypsies in Contemporary Egypt: On the Periphery of Society (American University in Cairo Press, 2017); and, Construction Identitaire Arabe Américaine (L’Harmattan, 2005).
