Delphine de Vigan (born 1 March 1966) is a French novelist.
Life and career.
De Vigan wrote her first four novels by night while working at a public opinion firm in Alfortville by day. Her first published work, "Jours sans faim" (2001), was published under the pseudonym Lou Delvig, although since then she has written under her own name.
Her breakthrough work was "No et moi" (2007), which won the Rotary International Prize in 2009 as well as France's prestigious Prix des libraires. The novel was translated into twenty languages and a film adaptation was released in 2010 ("No et moi" directed by Zabou Breitman). Following the book's success, she became a full-time professional writer.
In 2011, her novel "Rien ne s'oppose à la nuit" ("Nothing holds back the night"), which deals with a family coping with a woman's bipolar disorder, won another clutch of French literary prizes, including the prix du roman Fnac, the prix Roman France Télévisions, the Grand prix des lectrices de Elle, and the Prix Renaudot des lycéens.
