Claudine Muno (born 2 July 1979) is a Luxembourgish author, singer, musician, music teacher, and journalist.
Muno spent her childhood in Pétange and finished secondary school with a diploma in modern languages, literature, and Latin. She received an undergraduate degree in history at the University of Strasbourg, France, where she wrote a dissertation on Luxembourgish film: Peur de l'oubli - Peur de l'autre. Les films et documentaires luxembourgeois ayant pour sujet la Deuxième Guerre Mondiale (French: Fear of forgetting, fear of the Other. Luxembourgish films and documentaries covering the Second World War). [1]
After graduating, she became the full-time cultural editor of the Luxembourgish weekly left/green-wing magazine woxx. [1] As of 2007, she has been teaching music in the Neie Lycée, a pilot secondary school in Luxembourg City.
In 1996, Muno's first publication was a triple surprise for the Luxembourgish book market: the author was not only female (which was rare until then), she was also young (16 years old), and she wrote in English, a language rarely used in Luxembourg literature. In the following years, Muno has published a novel in French, one in German, and three in Luxembourgish. [1] She has also co-authored two children picture storybooks with Pascale Junker who did the illustrations, and she has written two plays in Luxembourgish: Speck and Krakullen. Book critics have compared her writing style to the Belgian writer Amélie Nothomb. [2]
Although Muno's first CD was first published by her book publisher, she is nationally and internationally known as Claudine Muno and The Luna Boots, who have already produced two albums.
