Flavia Bujor (born August 8, 1988 in Bucharest , Romania ) is a French writer and literary scholar of Romanian origin. Already at the age of 13 she became known as the author of the fantasy youth novel " The Oracle of Oonagh " (French: La prophétie des pierres ).

Life

Bujor's family moved to France when she was two years old. Today she lives with her parents in Paris. Her father Francis is a sculptor; her mother Sophie works as a psychologist with teenagers and young adults.

She wrote her first book "The Oracle of Oonagh" in just six months in 2001. First, she distributed the work chapter by chapter to classmates; her French teacher then sent it to various publishers so that it could actually be published the following year. Due to the young age of the author, the book gained a lot of media attention, was a great success in France and has been translated into 23 other languages.

In 2008, Bujor was selected and accepted as a student at the École normal supérieure in Paris , one of the most prestigious Grande écoles in France. There she received her Agrégation for Modern Literature ( French agrégation de lettres modern ) in 2012 .

Bujor worked from 2014 at the University of Rennes 2 with Isabelle Durand-Le Guern on her doctoral thesis in comparative literature on the subject of Une poétique de l'étrangeté: plasticité des corps et matérialité du pouvoir (Suzette Mayr, Marie NDiaye, Yoko Tawada) , the she submitted in November 2018. She has been teaching at the University of South Brittany in the Department of Modern Literature since 2017 ( French Département de Lettres Modernes ).
