Joanne Harris Biografía y Hechos

Joanne Harris (n. 3 de julio de 1964; Barnsley, Inglaterra, Reino Unido) es una escritora británica, conocida por su novela Chocolat publicada en 1999 y que al año siguiente fue la base de una película con el nombre de la novela. Biografía Harris nació en la ciudad de Barnsley, en el condado de Yorkshire, es descendiente de madre francesa y de padre inglés que eran profesores de idioma y de literatura en una escuela primaria local. El primer idioma que Harris aprendió a hablar fue el francés, lo que causaría divisiones en su familia inglesa donde nadie hablaba francés y en su familia francesa ya que nadie hablaba inglés y ambas familias tenían historias y tradiciones turbulentas.[cita requerida] Comienzos Harris empieza a escribir a una edad temprana, y es influenciada fuertemente por Cuentos de la infancia y del hogar, los libros publicados de Charles Perrault, el folklore y la mitología nórdica.[1]​ Concurre al Wakefield Girls' High School, Barnsley Sixth Form College y Saint Catharine's College donde estudió acerca de las lenguas medievales y modernas. Después de un año decidió ser cantante, pero no tuvo éxito, se había descrito como «estar atrapada en una película de Terry Gilliam»[2]​ se formó como maestra en la Universidad de Sheffield y durante quince años enseñó lenguas modernas, principalmente en Leeds Grammar School, una escuela independiente para niños en Yorkshire, también enseñó en la Universidad de Sheffield dando conferencias sobre aspectos de la literatura y el cine francés. Durante este período trabajó en una serie de proyectos de libros; The Evil Seed, Sleep, Pale Sister y Chocolat que se publicaron mientras ella todavía enseñaba.[3]​ Libros publicados Su primera novela fue The Evil Seed, que publicó en 1989, pero no tuvo tanto éxito, en 1993 publicó su segunda novela titulada; Sleep, Pale Sister, donde muestra la forma en que su estilo se desarrolla desde el horror-pastiche hasta la historia literaria de fantasmas. Después de seis años, en 1999, publica su cuarta novela con el título Chocolat que está ambientada en la región francesa de Gers, y que trata sobre una madre joven y soltera que llega a una aldea francesa de Lansquenet-sous-Tannes junta con su hija de 6 años llamada Anouk, donde abre una chocolatería, este libro alcanzó el puesto 1 en la lista de bestsellers del Sunday Times. El libro ganó el Premio Libertad Creativa en 1999 y fue seleccionado para los Costa Books Awards de ese mismo año. Temas recurrentes Algunos de los temas recurrentes de Harris son cuestiones de identidad, relaciones de madre a hijo, la resonancia emocional de la comida, la magia y el horror de las cosas cotidianas, lo extraño en la comunidad, la fe y la superstición, y la alegría de los pequeños placeres. Ella ha hablado en contra del sexismo arraigado en el campo literario, y ha discutido cómo teje una crítica de las actitudes sexistas en su ficción: Su estilo de escritura se centra en los sentidos, especialmente los del gusto y el olfato. Esto puede deberse al hecho de que Harris tiene una forma de sinestesia, en la que experimenta los colores como olores. Premios y distinciones Chocolat: Premio a la libertad creativa (2000); Premio Whittaker de Oro (2001). Seleccionado: Premio Whitbread a la Novela del Año (2000), Premio Scripter (2001); versión cinematográfica nominada para 8 BAFTA y 5 Oscars.  Premio Whittaker Platinum (2012).
