Camille Laurens

Camille Laurens started publishing fiction and essays in the early 1990s, before turning to autofiction, further to a painful loss. In 2000, she won France’s prestigious Prix Femina for In Those Arms (2004) which was an international bestseller translated into twelve languages. Her novel Who You Think I Am (2016) was released as a film starring Juliette Binoche. In 2020 Camille Laurens became a member of the Académie Goncourt.

Little Dancer Aged Fourteen was translated by Willard Wood.
