PALOMA HERMINA HIDALGO (France)

French writer, poet, and artist, PALOMA HERMINA HIDALGO is the author of Cristina (Le Réalgar, 2020, reissued in 2023) and Rien, le ciel peut-être (Sans Escale, 2023), praised by critics as works of “an untimely genius” (Marianne). A playwright and novelist, she is the author of Matériau Maman (Corlevour, 2024), an autobiographical fairy tale described as a “masterpiece of the novel” (Esprit). Her writing, radical and incandescent, oscillates between epiphany and transgression, establishing itself as a striking voice in contemporary literature. Tackling themes such as matricide, mother-daughter incest, and psychosis, her works subvert linguistic, sexual, and metaphysical norms, offering a fairy-tale vertigo where dramaturgy and mysticism fracture the sacred and the inanimate.
