In addition, he is the biographer of some famous people such as B. Nana Mouskouri .

In 2012 his novel L'hiver des hommes was awarded the Prix Renaudot , and a year later the Joseph Kessel Prize. It was published for the first time in German by Edition Contra-Bass in autumn 2017.
His autobiographical novel Le Chagrin received the Grand prix Marie Claire du roman d'émotion 2010 and the Prix Marcel Pagnol in the same year and was published for the first time in German by Edition Contra-Bass in autumn 2014 under the title Der Kummer .
