I'm a writer who when she is writing about what she is imagining or living or trying to live what she is writing or avoiding is lawyer trying to be an entrepreneur. It is a complex self-definition, but appropriate since definitions are about limitations and I don’t believe in them. In any case, what I do best is write and everything else is stuff upon which I feed my creative energy.
My first novel L'Empreinte des Choses Brisées was published last July in Paris. It is one that resembles me without being about me. It took me to places, which I never thought that I would go while enabling me to encounter extraordinary characters who were living all-too human stories.
I obtained a Juris Doctor and a Master in International Affairs from American University and a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Philosophy from the University of North Carolina (Charlotte).
Although I’m a native French speaker, English is my lazy language, the one to which I turn when I need to hit an ace or score a touchdown without taking a sack. I’m trying to say that although I have two blog, with two distinctive focuses, I have one voice. It is due to the fact that I speak English in French even though I have started to write, in spite of myself French with an American accent, which I’m trying to kill with all my might (French shouldn’t be written with a American accent, although it can be done with a British one).
Above all else, I am passionate about literature, politics, and culture, which is explained my blog may seemed unfocused for I allowed myself to talk about what I care about, while ignoring subjects that just don’t interest me.
My blogs are raw and I hope fierce, but they are also “needful things,” which require patience, and which I use to force myself to get out of my shell and to be boldly creative by refusing most of the time (I hope) to take the road most traveled.
Thus to conclude Christelle Nadia Fotso is passionate, absolute, fiercely timid, opinionated, voraciously lucid, but also sensibly rebellious.
