# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  François Charles Mauriac was born in October 1885 and built his career dissecting the moral suffocations of French middle-class existence through novels, plays, and criticism. He joined the Académie française in 1933, marking his arrival as a fixture of the literary establishment. The Nobel Prize in Literature came in 1952, recognizing decades of work that made interior spiritual struggle and social constraint into art. Five years later, in 1958, he received the Grand Cross of the Légion d'honneur. He died in September 1970, leaving behind a body of work that never flinched from the darker corners of respectability.
