★ FEATURE
Biography
Kev Lambert is a Canadian writer from Quebec who emerged as one of France's most decorated novelists in the 2020s, despite—or perhaps because of—the controversy her work sparked. Born in 1992 in the Chicoutimi borough of Saguenay, she moved to Montreal in her late teens to study literature at the Université de Montréal. She published her debut novel *Tu aimeras ce que tu as tué* in 2017, establishing her voice as a chronicler of queer desire and moral ambiguity. Her second novel, *Querelle de Roberval* (2018), won the Prix Ringuet, Prix Sade, and Prix Œuvre de la relève à Montréal, and was shortlisted for the Prix littéraire des collégiens. Bibliasis published English translations of both novels: *You Will Love What You Have Killed* in 2020 and *Querelle of Roberval* in 2022, the latter becoming a finalist for the 2022 Atwood Gibson Writers' Trust Fiction Prize and winning the 2023 ReLit Award for fiction. Her third novel, *Que notre joie demeure* (2022)—the first published under her name Kev Lambert—was longlisted for the 2023 Prix Goncourt, then won both the Prix Médicis and Prix Ringuet. The novel sparked controversy in France when Lambert disclosed she had used a sensitivity reader prior to publication, a practice criticized by previous Goncourt winner Nicolas Mathieu as creatively restrictive. The English translation, *May Our Joy Endure*, was published in fall 2024, alongside her fourth novel *Les Sentiers de neige*. As a writer, Lambert works in the novel form, exploring identity, desire, and moral rupture through densely layered narratives. A Libra born in October, she channels introspection and relational depth characteristic of that sign. Her life-path number 3 suggests creative expression and communication as core themes in her artistic practice.
