Clémentine Goldszal
““This is not a book about being a new mother. It is a book about being a newborn.””

Born and raised in Paris, Clémentine Goldszal is a journalist, cultural critic and reporter covering literature and entertainment for ELLE and Le Monde Magazine.
After studying history at la Sorbonne, she joined ELLE in the early 2000s as an intern for the book section, quickly focusing on American and English fiction and non-fiction. In 2010, she moved to Los Angeles, where she worked as a correspondent for ELLE and French magazines Le Point and Les Inrocks, covering Hollywood but also the American cultural landscape at large.
Ever since her return to Paris in 2013, she has been reporting both from France and the US, with the goal of helping the French understand American society through literature, music and cinema. In 2017, after having written for Vogue and Vanity Fair, she joined Le Monde as a freelance writer, profiling among others Ronan Farrow, Fran Lebowitz, Graydon Carter and, more recently, Deborah Levy. She also reports on cultural matters such as the rise of sensitivity readers in the publishing industry, the use of intimacy coordinators in Hollywood, and the renewed interest in Asian-American literature.
In 2020, she became the President of ELLE’s readers’ literary prize. Her work in English has appeared in Lithub, The Hollywood Reporter and Mastermind Magazine.
