My Take
Alice Ferney, born in Paris in 1961, is a French novelist and senior lecturer trained at ESSEC, and that combination is precisely what intrigues me. A mind schooled in economics that turns to fiction tends to write about the parts of human life that no spreadsheet can capture. She earned recognition in 1997 and the Prix Claude-Farrère in 2004, so this is no dabbler. I am drawn to writers who carry two vocations at once, teaching while crafting prose, and her quiet, dual-track career makes me genuinely curious to read her work.
