Biography

Marie-Ève Lacasse was born in 1982 in Ottawa, Canada. She settled in Paris in 2003, where she completed an MA on the photographer Denis Roche. Between 1994 and 2004 she published three novels in Canada, founded the literary blog laviedebiais.net, and contributed to a number of periodicals and reviews, including France Culture, Paulette, Technikart, and TRAX. Her fourth book, Peggy dans les phares(Flammarion, 2017), focuses on Peggy Roche, the fashion designer, French fashion editor, and secret partner of the writer Françoise Sagan. Her latest publication, Autobiographie de l’étranger(Flammarion, 2020) examines the feeling of foreignness and being “at home” that books embody.
