"Las cosas de Georges Perec son —después de 'La Educación sentimental', por supuesto— el gran poema de esa particular clase de humillación: la certeza de ser, hagamos lo que hagamos, desesperadamente como todo el mundo."

Emmanuel Carrère (born 9 December 1957) is a French author, screenwriter and film director.

Carrère is often described as France's most original writer of non-fiction.[1][2][3][4] Karl Ove Knausgaard has referred to him as "the most exciting living writer".[5]

Life[edit]

Carrère is the son of Louis Édouard Carrère, often known as Louis Carrère d'Encausse, after his mother, the historian and Académie française member,[6] Hélène Carrère d'Encausse. His maternal grandfather, Georges Zourabichvili, immigrated from Georgia to France in the early 1920s. He is also a cousin of the philosopher François Zourabichvili.

Carrère studied at the Institut d'études politiques de Paris (better known as Sciences Po). Much of his writing, both fiction and nonfiction, centers around the primary themes of the interrogation of identity, the development of illusion and the direction of reality. He has also been an important reference for the "autofiction" movement in English, as he has "excelled at creating narratives that range freely between genres."[7] Several of his books have been made into films, and he directed the film adaptation of his novel La Moustache. He was the president of the jury of the book Inter 2003.

He was a member of the International jury at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival.[8] He was a member of the jury for the Cinéfoundation and Short Films sections of the 2012 Cannes Film Festival.[9]

In 2015, he was named as a member of the Jury for the Main Competition at the 2015 Venice Film Festival. The festival was chaired by Alfonso Cuarón.

In January 2019, the conservative Catholic website Church Militant charged that passages from Carrère's The Kingdom assigned to students at Franciscan University of Steubenville by an English professor were "blasphemous and pornographic." The university's president removed the professor from his position as head of the English Department and apologized to "our Blessed Mother and her Son, and to anyone who has been scandalized by this incident."[10][11]
