ANNIE LULU
Annie Lulu is a Romanian-Congolese Paris-based writer, poet and translator. She was born in Iasi, Romania to a Congolese father and a Romanian mother. She arrived in France with her parents at a young age after the collapse of Ceaucescu’s dictatorship, then studied philosophy at the Sorbonne and Criminology at Paris-Pantheon University, while also attending open classes at the Beaux-Arts in Paris. She now devotes herself fully to writing and translating and regularly contributes to francophone poetry journals, art books and exhibition catalogs.
Her fiction puts into perspective the status of women and multiculturalism, through what she calls L’Écriture du Tissage, “Weaving- Writing”. Her first novel La Mer Noire dans les Grands Lacs received many prizes, among them the Prix Senghor, the Prix de la Littérature de l’Exil, and the Prix Cocteau. Her second novel, Peine des Faunes, was released by Julliard Press in September 2022.
Her poetic work is regularly published regularly in numerous reviews and exhibition catalogs.
She is the active honorary president of the literary francophone prize Prix Senghor and of the Cocteau Prize 2023.
