Francoise Malle Joris is a collector of simple things: fragments of phrases, situations, jokes. Children argue at breakfast, the housekeeper sings, forgetting about dirty dishes, random people wander into the apartment and stay overnight … From the everyday incidents, Malle-Joris masterfully looms life in her genuine charms.
For humor and psychologism, for the subtle observation, the hostess of the “paper house” was awarded many literary awards. She also happened to be the vice president of the Goncurov Academy and a member of the Belgian Royal Academy of the French language and literature.
