Since her public life waned after her years in the industry, Anna Gogowska turned to writing, penning a number of novels and screenplays. Her novels are filled with strong female characters living their lives in the present time. Her characters include an aging Russian princess who lives with her husband and young American woman who fall in love with her younger half-brother.
Today, Anna Gogowska lives in New York City. She has always described herself as a New Yorker and has given interviews regarding her personal life and her work. These statements have led to widespread criticism from some sections of the Russian community and the Russian government. The main reason for this criticism is that Anna Gogowska claims to be an American by birth, while most people who know her understand that she is actually a Russian by heritage. Some people have suggested that Gogowska owes her success to her ethnicity, but those who know her firmly believe that her public image began to change when she began to write books about her life, and began to use the identity “Anna Gogowska” as a way of masking her true nationality.
