Born in Brittany, France, into a family that loves the sea and devours books. At seventeen, realizes that he will never be able to read everything. Severe depression. Saved by his grandfather: “The novels that I have given you so far, you have understood them wrong anyway… Relax." Since then, he has been moving at his own pace, his ear often glued to the covers of big books: You can hear the sea there. It's the perfect pillow. Lives in the Czech Republic, where he teaches at the Lycée français de Prague.
