Paula Parisot (1978 - ) is a Brazilian writer, illustrator and artist.[1]
Life
Parisot was born in Rio de Janeiro and she studied Industrial Design at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro before moving to The New School in New York City, where she earned a Master's Degree in Fine Arts. Currently (2016) she lives in São Paulo with her family.[2]
Paula Parisot's first book, A dama da solidão (2007), was a finalist in the short fiction category for the Jabuti Award, Brazil's most prestigious literary award. Her second novel, Gonzos e parafusoswas (2010) inspired a performance that lasted for seven consecutive days in which Parisot confined herself to a room 3 meters by 4 meters, which was a reproduction of the sanatorium at the end of the novel. Parisot's third book, Partir (2013), includes original drawings by Parisot and led to a series of new performances in Guadalajara, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo. In 2015, Parisot was featured in the Brazil imprint of Harper's Bazaar.[3][4][5]
The first translation of Parisot's work into English will be published by Dalkey Archive Press in 2016, under the title Lady of Solitude.[6] This is the book that took her to the finals of the Jabuti Award in 2007.[1]
