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

Life

Born Christine 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 autofiction, and whether the events described actually took place. Angot herself describes her work – a metafiction on society's fundamental prohibition of incest and her own writings on the subject – as 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]
