Prisca Chevallier Curt
Prisca Chevallier Curt, Professor of Modern Literature and Equality Officer, teaches in the Paris suburbs. It's both my joy and my burden. A bit, or rather, a lot of insomniac, I steal precious hours of reading, writing, music, and film from the night. I never tire of trying to understand our worlds as they are built and crumble. I write about what hurts, what wounds, and sometimes, great joys too. I see my stories as a few shards of mother-of-pearl, scattered on the sand, for those who, like me, tend to get lost. A woman with a way with words, my stories, published in journals, anthologies, and literary websites, sometimes find enlightened readers…
“In these nineteen stories, people fight to obtain far more than life demands and refuse to bow their heads. A waste picker living in an open-air landfill questions Europe, Gabriel appeals to a judge to save his half-sister, Claquette, a teenager, hesitates between emptiness and an outstretched hand, Mona revisits her past, and Mina searches for a future… families in conflict or mourning, the experience of prison or war—always, always, women and men turn their faces toward the sun: perhaps it isn't so far away, on the other side of the wall, on the other side of the sea, on the other side of the street… And then, there will always be the song of the waves and life that endlessly begins anew.” Publication date: February 2, 2026 Order Press release
