Chloé Delaume, Sans oublier qu’en plus c’est bien la fin du monde

Chloé Delaume acts in resistance against patriarchy. Drawing on her own experiences, her poetic texts dissect the old misogynistic world to better reveal its violence. With her finely crafted and biting language, she tracks down the various incarnations of evil in contemporary discourse, attitudes, and fantasies.

Far from succumbing to passivity, her project of massive deconstruction gradually takes the form of a universal, lucid, and caustic song of revolt. Her poems ring out like a true ode to rebellion against a twilight era and to sisterhood.

The author

Chloé Delaume was born in 1973. She has been writing in many forms and media since the late 1990s. She has written nearly thirty books as if they were experiments: novels, poetic fragments, plays, essays, self-fiction. She is fond of hybrid objects and the mixing of genres: a novel illustrated by a video game (Corpus Simsi), the hijacking of a board game (Certainement pas), fan fiction in which you are the hero (La nuit je suis Buffy Summers). But also diary of a home performance (J’habite dans la télévision), dystopia (Les sorcières de la République). If her first novel, Les mouflettes d’Atropos, was tinged with radical feminism, she later focused on the issue of sisterhood by publishing Mes bien chères sœurs and the collective work Sororité.
Winner of the Prix Décembre 2001 for Le cri du sablier, she was a resident at the Villa Médicis in 2010-2011 and won the Prix Médicis 2020 with Le cœur synthétique.
