“My name is Chloé Delaume. I am a fictional character. I say it, I say it again and again, everywhere I go I affirm it. I write myself in books, texts, sound pieces. I decided to become a fictional character when I realized that I was already one. The only difference is that I wasn’t writing myself. Others were doing it. A secondary character in a family fiction and a passive extra in the collective fiction. I chose writing to reclaim my body, my actions, and my identity.”
