Agota Kristof
Agota Kristof was born on October 30, 1935 in Hungary. In her hometown, Neuchâtel, she spent her childhood and adolescence.
During her youth, she was linked to the Hungarian Revolution; however, when the Warsaw Pact was signed and the revolution was crushed, Kristof had to flee. She went into exile with her husband and her four-month-old daughter, in Switzerland. She lived the rest of her life in this country.
Her literary career began in the fields of poetry and theater. And she did it from exile: the main theme in all her work. Agota adopted the French language for her work and all her writing developed in that language.
