★ FEATURE
Biography
Emma Cline is an American writer whose fiction explores intimacy, power, and moral ambiguity with surgical precision. Born January 1, 1989, in California, she emerged as a significant literary voice with her 2016 debut novel The Girls, which was shortlisted for both the John Leonard Prize from the National Book Critics Circle and the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize. The novel's unflinching portrait of adolescent vulnerability and complicity established her as a writer unafraid of difficult subjects. Her story collection Daddy arrived in 2020, followed by her second novel The Guest in 2023. Cline's shorter work has appeared in prestigious magazines including The New Yorker, Tin House, Granta, and The Paris Review, placing her among contemporary fiction's most respected voices. In 2017, Granta magazine recognized her as one of its Best of Young American Novelists, and Forbes named her one of their "30 Under 30 in Media"—institutional validation she earned while still establishing her voice. She holds the Plimpton Prize and a Guggenheim Fellowship, honors that underscore her standing within American letters. As a writer, Cline works primarily in literary fiction, a genre demanding formal precision and emotional intelligence. A Capricorn born on the cusp of a new decade, her numerological life path of 11 suggests a visionary bent—the master number associated with intuition and insight.
