Marie
Pavlenko
Curtis Brown
Marie Pavlenko was born in Lille in 1974. She studied modern literature at the Sorbonne, has lived in the Middle East, and began writing fiction in 2010. She first worked as a screenwriter in film and television before switching to novels, with the occasional graphic novel and picture book.
Marie has published around twenty works in a variety of genres and for very different audiences: general fiction, children’s and YA, sci-fi, contemporary, fantasy, magical realism.
Her literature is engaged, looks deeply at the individual and their psychology, but also at their universality and the links that human beings forge between themselves and the world. In her books, she delves into our relationships and interdependence with the living, enjoys building fragile or invisible characters on the margins of consumerist society, and paints portraits of complex women.
Her books are translated into a dozen languages.
Vegan and a feminist, Marie lives in Seine-Saint-Denis, she studies ornithology, yoga and ceramics. Whenever she can, she goes walking in the mountains.
