Claire Castillon, born May 25, 1975, in Boulogne-Billancourt (France), is a French writer. She writes novels, short stories and children's books.

Life

In 2000, she publishes her first novel, Le Grenier, edited by Anne Carrière, which does not go unnoticed.[1] When asked about the genuine violence of her style, she answers: This is crude and painful, not crude and gratuitous. This is not about talking bodies just for the sake of it. This is sort of outburst in pain.[2]

Her play La poupée qui tousse is performed at the Théâtre de l'Opprimé in Paris, in 2003.[3]

In 2004, she receives the Grand Prix Thyde Monnier from the SGDL for her novel Vous parler d'elle (Fayard 2004).[4]

In the mid-2000s, she works with the movie director Marion Vernoux on an adaptation of her novel Je prends Racine, adaptation which is not produced.[5]

Her collection of short stories Les Bulles (Fayard, 2010) is brought to light by the same Marion Vernoux and performed at the Marigny theater in Paris in 2013.[6]

In 2015, her novel Eux (l'Olivier, 2014) receives Marie-Claire feminine novel award.[7]

She animates writing workshops within the FIT association (a woman - a roof), and writes a testimony dedicated to the women she met through the association, bringing to light their daily suffering.[8]

She regularly writes chronicles of a young mother in the magazine Parents .[9] [10]

Her collection of short stories Insecte(Fayard 2006) is translated into 25 languages.[11] My mother never dies is the translation made by Harcourt in the US. In 2016, the movie director Elsa Blayau adapts it into a short film.[12]

Her collection of short stories Rebelles, un peu, receives in May 2018 the Prix L'Échappée littéraire, which jury is composed of high school students from the French region Bourgogne-Franche-Comté .[13] [14]
