About the author
Magali-Boisnard was the pen name of a French writer and poet born in Orange on September 2, 1882. Library records identify her as an author in French, and major French catalogues list her death on July 19, 1945, in Biskra, Algeria.
Reference sources also describe her as a poet and novelist, and note that she gave lectures in Tunis. She published under both Magali Boisnard and the hyphenated Magali-Boisnard, leaving behind novels, poems, and other prose works.
A large part of her life was tied to Algeria, and that setting seems central to how readers remember her today. For listeners coming to her work now, she offers a window into a French-language literary world shaped by Provence, North Africa, travel, and early-20th-century cultural exchange.
