Lydie Salvayre‚ the daughter of refugees from the Spanish Civil War‚ was born in France in 1948.
Her publications include the novel The Declaration and nine others, such as Everyday Life‚ The Lecture‚ and The Power of Flies. She has received the Prix Hermes for The Declaration and the Prix Novembre for The Company of Ghosts.
In her own words, Lydie Salvayre is: "uneasy with conversation but
clever with her legs. Won a twist contest in 1967. Studied arts then
medicine. Reads philosophy constantly without understanding it.
Works as a psychiatrist in a suburban medical center where she sees
teenagers who don't write poetry." |
