Biography
[edit]Youth and education
[edit]Alice Renard is the daughter of a personal stylist and a mathematics teacher. She gained a scientific Baccalauréat, then undertook studies in medieval literature at the Sorbonne.[3]
Writing
[edit]Because of her background, she says she is interested in the issues of neurodiversity and sensory processing sensitivity. At 14, she began to write articles that she addressed to Léopoldine, a fictitious interlocutor ("Léopoldine, une destinatrice fictive").[3]
She published her first novel, La Colère et l'Envie (Rage and Desire), on August 24, 2023.[4][5] The novel is constructed in three parts, initially recording the thoughts of Isor's conflicted parents as they do their best to bring up a non-verbal child, then her elderly neighbour relating their friendship, before Isor's voice takes over in an epistolary finale.[5] It has been said to "[advocate] for radical freedom of expression, even if it goes against cartesian sense".[6] It has been nominated for numerous literary prizes, including the Prix Femina 2023,[7] and the Prix littéraire du Monde 2023[8] - it received the Prix Méduse in 2023, the Prix littéraire de la vocation,[9] the Prix Maurice-Genevoix 2024,[10] as well as the Grand Cru Chartreuse 2024 Prize, awarded by the Centre national des écritures du spectacle (National Centre for Performing Arts Writing).[11]
