Sophie Demange in conversation with Zélie Perpignaa

Art can serve as a form of social commentary and thus improve people's lives, but to do so, one must be willing to experience uncomfortable situations and have the courage to give them form. This is what Sophie Demange has done. After studying literature and spending several years in India and Mexico, she returned to France, where she has worked with humanitarian organisations that care for homeless people, sex workers and unaccompanied minors. She is currently dedicated to protecting children with functional diversity. Las carniceras is her first and successful novel. It is a vibrant thriller that denounces, excites and celebrates sisterhood as a weapon and refuge.

Demange will be interviewed by Zélie Perpignaa, who is the attaché for Books, Ideas Debates and Media Libraries at the Institut Français in Spain.. She previously worked in the publishing sector as press officer at Calmann-Lévy, after gaining experience at the Grasset publishing house and at Villa Albertine in New York. Specialising in book promotion and cultural mediation, she collaborates on literary programming and debate projects.
