French novelist and playwright, she is perhaps best known for her 1999 novel L'Inceste (Incest) which recounts an incestuous relationship with her father.

Angot herself describes her work - a metafiction on society's fundamental prohibition of incest and her own writings on the subject - as a performative (cf Quitter la ville).
