Christine Angot (born 7 February 1959) is a French novelist, playwright and screenwriter.

Life

Born Pierrette Marie-Clotilde Schwartz (Schwartz being her mother's name) in Châteauroux, Indre, she is perhaps best known for her 1999 novel L'Inceste (Incest) which recounts an incestuous relationship with her father.[1] It is a subject which appears in several of her previous books, but it is unclear whether these works are

performative acts. (cf Quitter la ville).[2]

She was named the winner of the

Prix Sade in 2012 for Une semaine de vacances.[3]

In 2021, she was awarded the Prix Médicis for her novel Le Voyage dans l'Est.[4]

In collaboration with director Claire Denis, she has written two films: Let the Sunshine In (2017)[5] and Both Sides of the Blade (2022).[6] Both Sides of the Blade is based on her novel Un tournant de la vie (2018).[7]
