Palavras-chave:
Caging Skies, Christine Leunens, Jojo Rabbit, Political Literature, NazismResumo
Christine Leunens plans to release her fourth book in 2022, In Amber's Awake, a story about the Rainbow Warrior bombing. Before that, she published Caging Skies, published in Brazil under the name O céu que nos oprime adapted into a movie in Jojo Rabbit, which earned an Oscar nomination for best film. A constant in her works is the theme of politics. Not politics in a generic form, without historiographic or theoretical concern, but in its stricto sensu sense, a fictional fortune that delves deeply into analysis and flexes as much as possible the symbiotic relationship between literature and politics. In addition to being a fictionist, Christine holds a Master of Liberal Arts degree in English and American Literature and Language from Harvard University and a PhD in Creative Writing from Victoria University of Wellington. Furthermore, her work has been translated into over twenty languages, including Portuguese.
