Marcy was interviewed by Meg Pokrass for the blog of the literary community Fictionaut.  From the interview:

I should hold a contest: how many movie references are in Bad Marie. Many of my film references were unintentional; some, of course, were. Victor Nunez’s Ruby in Paradise is one of my favorite films of all time. I name a character Ruby in Bad Marie. Ruby works in an industrial laundry — which also happens in the film. Marie says the name Benoit Doniel out loud to herself, repeatedly, and that comes directly from Francois Truffaut’s Stolen Kisses. I borrowed the name Ludivine for my sick cat in the novel from French actress Ludivine Sagnier. Etc.

I wonder if writing this book was my way of telling myself I wanted a baby. I sort of think it has to be, but Bad Marie was finished before I became a parent. The final edits were approved two days before I gave birth. I was busy writing that scene in Nice where Marie eats escargots for the first time (a late addition to the novel) when I was supposed to be getting the nursery ready.
