Céline Curiol was born in Lyon in 1975. She graduated from the École supérieure des techniques avancées and the Sorbonne, and left France for New York after he studies. There, she became a reporter for the BBC and Radio France, started writing, and earned a living notably by working for the UN.
She published her first novel, Voix sans issue (Actes Sud, 2005), when she was thirty. It has been translated in a dozen languages and hailed by American writer Paul Auster as “one of the most original and brilliantly executed works of fiction by any contemporary writer.” She drew inspiration from her residency at the Kujoyama Villa in Kyôto, to write a novel, L'Ardeur des pierres, published in the autumn of 2012. In 2013, she contributed to the Essences collection at Actes sud, with a hybrid text, A Vue de nez.
