Biography[]

Nath-Sakura graduated with a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Montpellier. She then took up a career as a professional reporter. Her identity as a trans woman plays a large role in her work, which often narrates her own transition and those of others.[1] Her work is mostly about the "movement between genders and aims to show with great subtlety the 'metaphysical brutality' in being born again."[2]
