Geneviève Brisac (born 18 October 1951, in Paris) is a French writer.
She is the winner of the Prix Femina in 1996 for Week-end de chasse à la mère,[1] a novel translated in English as Losing Eugenio (2000)[2] and referred to in The New York Times as a "mildly compelling text"[3] and in Publishers Weekly as an "elegant narrative art".[4]
She also writes short stories and children's literature, and is a literary critic for Le Monde,[5] and with Christophe Honoré she co-wrote the screenplay for Honoré's Non Ma Fille, Tu N'iras pas Danser (2009).[6] Plagued by anorexia from childhood, she wrote an "auto-fictional" novel, Petite (1994), in which she recounts her struggle with the disease.[2]
She became very interested in Virginia Woolf, publishing V. W.: le mélange des genres (V. W .: the mixture of genres, with Agnès Desarthe, Paris: Éditions de l'Olivier, 2004),[7] republished under the title of La double vie de Virginia Woolf (Paris: Points, 2008).
Writer, editor, close to the NGO "Bibliothèques Sans Frontières" ("Libraries Without Borders"), she declared her love for books: "Books have saved my life several times. My debt is unlimited.".[8]
