Biography

[edit]

Madalosso was born in Curitiba. She graduated in Journalism at the Federal University of Paraná, worked as an advertising copywriter and settled in São Paulo.[3] She faced resistance from publishers to the theme of her debut book, A Teta Racional, whose short stories dealt with her experience of motherhood and breastfeeding.[4] A Teta Racional was a finalist of the 2017 Clarice Lispector Prize.[5]

The Tokyo Suite, finalist for the 63rd Jabuti Prize in the Literary Novel category,[6] was her first book to be translated into Spanish and English.[7]

Together with Natalia Timerman [pt] and Paula Carvalho, she gathered more than 400 women writers in Pacaembu during the 2022 São Paulo Book Fair for the event A Great Day in São Paulo, inspired by the photo A Great Day in Harlem.[8] The event spread to another 50 cities, with almost 1,700 authors gathering for photos and mapping the literature produced by women in Brazil.[9] In 2020, she was one of the organizers of Memorial Inumeráveis, a project that pays tribute to the victims of the Covid-19 pandemic in Brazil by telling their stories.[10] Since January 2023 she has been a columnist for the newspaper Folha de S.Paulo.[11]
