The Unit

Ninni Holmqvist est née en 1958 et vit en Suède. Auteur de nouvelles et aussi traductrice, L'Unité est son premier roman (déjà traduit en anglais). Elle y aborde les sujets fondamentaux tels l'amour, la liberté, le sacrifice et la contribution de chaque individu dans une société standardisée où le « superflu » n'a plus sa place.

Suzanne Toren has over 30 years of experience in recording. She won the American Foundation for the Blind's Scourby Award for Narrator of the Year in 1988, and AudioFile magazine named her the 2009 Best Voice in Nonfiction & Culture. She is also the recipient of multiple Earphones Awards. Her many credits include works by Jane Smiley, Margaret Weis, Jerry Spinelli, Barbara Kingsolver, and Cynthia Rylant. AudioFile also raves, "Toren brings a distinguishing warmth and power to her narrations. Her talents extend to both fiction and nonfiction, and in her recording career of 30-plus years she has given listeners heart-wrenching memoirs, lively history, engaging light fiction, and involving mysteries." Toren also performs on and off-Broadway and in regional theatres.
