Anna Gavalda is a French novelist, short-story writer, children’s author and literary translator, born in Boulogne-Billancourt on 9 December 1970. A former French teacher, she broke through with the 1999 collection Je voudrais que quelqu’un m’attende quelque part, which received both the Grand Prix RTL-Lire and the Académie française Prix de la Nouvelle in 2000. Her fiction is known for close attention to conversation, ordinary gestures, loneliness, missed chances and the fragile forms of care that allow people to begin again.
Her first novel, Je l’aimais, appeared from Le Dilettante in 2002 and has an established English market title, Someone I Loved. Its established Persian edition is «من او را دوست داشتم», translated by Elham Darchinian for Qatreh; these are not literal SEO inventions but the real French, English and Persian market titles. Gavalda’s later books include 35 kilos d’espoir, Ensemble, c’est tout, La Consolante, Billie, La Vie en mieux and Fendre l’armure. Her translation of John Williams’s Stoner also shows a less familiar side of her literary work. A verified Commons portrait is used under CC BY-SA 4.0.
