Christine Angot


Born
in Châteauroux, France
February 07, 1959

Genre

Influences


French novelist and playwright, she is perhaps best known for her 1999 novel L'Inceste (Incest) which recounts an incestuous relationship with her father. It is a subject which appears in several of her previous books, but it is unclear whether these works are autofiction and the events described true. Angot herself describes her work - a metafiction on society's fundamental prohibition of incest and her own writings on the subject - as a performative (cf Quitter la ville).

Angot is also literary director for French publishers Stock

L'Inceste est vraiment le livre où je me présente comme une grosse merde, tout 鳦°ù¾±±¹²¹¾±²Ô doit le faire une fois, après on verra. Ou peut-être le faire plusieurs fois, ou peut-être ne faire que ça. Ecrire c'est peut-être ne faire que ça, montrer la grosse merde en soi. Bien sûr que non. Vous êtes prêts à croire n'importe quoi. Ecrire n'est pas une seule chose. Ecrire c'est tout. Dans la limite. Toujours. De la vie, de soi, du stylo, de la taille et du poids. (L'inceste p.202)”
Christine Angot, L'Inceste

“On dînait ensemble. On se couchait à la même heure. Dans notre chambre. Il caressait ma taille. Il embrassait ma nuque. Il mettait son sexe entre mes jambes. On faisait l’amour ou on s’endormait comme ça. Je lui disais que je l’aimais. Et, quand je pensais à la mort, c’était son visage que j’imaginais, penché au-dessus du mien.”
Christine Angot, Un tournant de la vie

“Ma ponctuation, il faut que je m'en défasse, que j'en prenne une plus courante, plus naturelle, que les gens aient moins d'efforts à faire. (L'inceste, p.106)”
Christine Angot, L'Inceste
