Born on May 2, 1952 in Hauts-de-Seine, Louise L. Lambrichs has long worked as a novelist and essayist. Interested in the history of medical thought and epistemology, and in the relationship between medicine and psychoanalysis, she also grappled with the history of the war in the former Yugoslavia and ultimately highlighted the mechanism of genocidal repetition in this southern European region. After this encounter with a traumatic reality, she returned to writing novels but also, encouraged by Jeanine Baude, turned towards poetic research. Sur le fil, envolées is her fourth collection, in dialogue with the drawings of Granjabiel that have accompanied her, for some twenty years, in various works.
