Denise Mina

Denise Mina est une autrice écossaise très respectée, principalement reconnue pour sa contribution aux genres de la fiction criminelle et du Tartan Noir, sa variante écossaise. Elle est née à Glasgow, en Écosse, en 1966 et a passé son enfance à voyager à travers l'Europe en raison du travail de son père en tant qu'ingénieur. Leur famille a suivi la ruée vers le pétrole en mer du Nord des années 70, déménageant 21 fois en 18 ans dans divers endroits, dont Paris, La Haye, Londres, l'Écosse et Bergen. Ce mode de vie nomade a eu un impact significatif sur la vie et l'œuvre de Mina, lui offrant une perspective unique et un large éventail d'expériences sur lesquelles s'appuyer dans son écriture.

Le parcours de Mina pour devenir une autrice à succès n'a pas été traditionnel ou direct. Après avoir quitté l'école à seize ans, elle a enchaîné les petits boulots mal payés, notamment dans une usine de viande, comme barmaid, plongeuse et cuisinière. Elle s'est finalement installée dans les soins auxiliaires pour les patients gériatriques et en phase terminale. Cependant, sa passion pour l'apprentissage et les études est restée, et à l'âge de 21 ans, elle a réussi ses examens et a étudié le droit à l'université de Glasgow, menant par la suite des recherches sur une thèse de doctorat à l'université de Strathclyde sur l'attribution de maladie mentale aux délinquantes. C'est à cette époque qu'elle a pris la décision audacieuse de mal utiliser sa bourse et de rester à la maison pour écrire un roman, "Garnethill", plutôt que de poursuivre ses études. Ce roman a marqué le début d'une trilogie et la carrière d'autrice publiée de Mina.

L'œuvre de Mina s'étend à divers supports, notamment les romans, les nouvelles, les documentaires et même les bandes dessinées. Elle a écrit pour la série de bandes dessinées à succès Hellblazer et a également créé un roman graphique unique sur le thème des tueries en série et des prix de l'immobilier intitulé "A Sickness in the Family". En 2006, elle a écrit sa première pièce de théâtre, "Ida Tamson", une adaptation d'une nouvelle qui a été diffusée en feuilleton dans l'Evening Times pendant cinq soirs. Mina a également contribué à la télévision et à la radio en tant que commentatrice et travaille actuellement sur une adaptation cinématographique d'"Ida Tamson". Son travail se caractérise par sa franchise et sa capacité à aborder des thèmes complexes et difficiles avec sensibilité et perspicacité.
