I am the subject of Reading Patricia Eakins, a book of critical studies of my work edited by Françoise Palleau. My story “The Hungry Girls” has been made into a work of theatre by the performance ensemble Collision Theory, which also commissioned me to write the texts and lyrics for Portrait (with horse and other).
