Seventeen years after La voyeuse interdite, eight years after Garçon manqué, and three years after she received the prix Renaudot for Mes mauvaises pensées, Nina Bouraoui radically changes her style and register. In her youth, she was admired and criticized for the fragmentary, abrupt style of her writing. Today, she publishes her first classical novel.
It is the story of an encounter between a young female writer and an admiring reader. It recounts their exchanges, their passion, and the happiness they conquer day by day.
Nina Bouraoui was always an intriguing figure, never to be categorized, never found where she was supposed to be.
She remains a free writer. Free, at the age of forty to compose and complete a love story that bears the singularity of her style, her own signature.
Appelez-moi par mon prénom is the kind of love story that was written in the past. Yet Nina Bouraoui remains true to her art and her method, and to her insightful ability to talk about her contemporary world.
Nina Bouraoui was born in Rennes in 1967. She is the author of La voyeuse interdite (Gallimard), awarded the prix Livre Inter in 1991. Followed Le jour du séisme, Garçon manqué, La vie heureuse, Poupée Bella, Mes mauvaises pensées (awarded the prix Renaudot in 2005), and Avant les hommes, all published at Stock.
