Camille Laurens

In the last twenty years, Camille Laurens has composed an oeuvre on the borderline between fiction and self-fiction, which started with the novel Index in 1991. The loss of her child led to a more personal text with Philippe (1995), and then towards other works evoking the link between life, truth and literature. She won the Femina and ther Renaudot for Lyçee Students prizes with Dans ces bras-là (2000). Gallimard published her latest novel, Romance nerveuse, in 2010.
