Education and early life
[edit]Kramer was born on 15 December 1961 in Geneva, Switzerland. Kramer's family moved to Lausanne in 1964.[1] After obtaining her baccalaureat, she studied literature at the University of Lausanne, which she briefly interrupted with studies in journalism, eventually leaving Lausanne[2] and moving to Zürich where she spent six years learning publicity with the Jacques Séguéla group.[3] In 1987, while visiting Paris on business, Kramer chose to relocate there, working in advertising but also writing.[4][2]
Career
[edit]Kramer's first book was Variations on the Same Scene in 1982, followed by Terres Fécondes two years later. A ten-year hiatus followed, but she published Manu in 1996.[5] This won the Michel-Dentan Prize.[4][6]
Kramer is responsible for organising the documentary film festival Enfances Dans le Monde,[7] the first exhibition of which was held in Paris on 20 November 2010. The day was chosen to mark the International Day of the Rights of the Child.[8]
Kramer received the 2001 Lipp Prize for The Living, a tragic novel telling the story of two children who accidentally die in front of their uncle.[5] Other works of Kramer's have won French awards, such as the Prix Rambert,[9] the Grand Prix SGDL[6] and the Schiller Prize. She also won the Swiss Grand Prix of Literature for her oeuvre.[4][5][10]
