Miki Soejima

Miki Soejima is a magical realist, an escapologist who has claimed her identity as the photographer behind Mrs. Merryman's Collection, winner of the 2012 First Book Award.  Anne Sophie Merryman is not a pseudonym, but what Fernando Pessoa called a 'heteronym' – a complete, imaginary character that goes beyond just a false name, having a supposed physique, biography, writing style.
