Biography
She studied at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in the Rue d'Ulm and at Trinity College, Cambridge. She graduated with the Doctor of Philosophy. She lectured in ancient philosophy, at the Nancy 2 University, from 1999 to 2002, a research fellow at CNRS since 2002. She taught philosophy at the Paris-Sorbonne University.
Her work
She has published several books and articles on ancient philosophy and its contemporary reception, and translated Plotinus.
She is the author of five novels: The Devil spotter is the story, haunted by the figure of Persephone, of the passion of a teenager for a mature man; The Detached was the story told by 'a young woman, Margot, distant sister of Florence Rey, from the prison where she is incarcerated. She says her love for Peter, her experience of rebellion and radical rejection. The voice of this prisoner, which still resounds in isolation, is a story about prison, bereavement and deprivation.
Resident of the Villa Medici in 2005, she wrote a novel on the ugliness in our lives, through the inner monologue of an ugly woman on the aesthetic discourse of indifference of the beautiful and the ugly. Following this, she composed an anthology, The (dis) taste of ugliness.
She adapted for France Culture, a radio play of The Death of Virgil, by Hermann Broch.
In 2009, she won the Prix Femina for Personne, a story about her father who suffered from manic-depression. From the diary he kept which she found after his death, and also her own memories, she traces the fragmented portrait of a man who was a stranger to himself and the world.
