Biography
[edit]Justine Augier is the daughter of Marielle de Sarnez and Philippe Augier. She graduated from Sciences Po and immediately became involved in humanitarian work. Within the NGO Acted, she was in charge of projects for Afghanistan[1].
She followed her partner during his international[2] assignments and lived in Jerusalem for five years[3]. In 2013, after exploring various neighborhoods of the city, she published a portrait of Jerusalem.
She received the Fénéon Prize in 2011 for her novel En règle avec la nuit[4].
In 2017, she published an investigation on Razan Zaitouneh, a Syrian lawyer kidnapped in 2013 in Douma, near Damascus[5].
In 2024, she published Personne morale, a narrative inspired by the Lafarge scandal (the French cement company was indicted[6] for having paid millions of euros to the terrorist group Daesh through a factory in Syria). Researcher and critic Tiphaine Samoyault praised it as a "gripping narrative[7]."
