Life

He was a student at the École alsacienne , but left this school to devote himself to writing. His first novel, Mes illusions donnent sur la cour , the title of which comes from a chanson by Serge Gainsbourg , was a great success in 2009.

The book has been translated into Dutch, Portuguese, Italian, Hungarian, Czech, Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese, among others. In German it was published under the title Ich dich nicht bei Piper . His second novel, Les Cœurs en skaï mauve , appeared in 2011. The title is borrowed from the cult novel 37 ° 2 le matin by Philippe Djian . In his third novel, the main character of the first novel returns to Paris after a stay in the United States, where his novel was a great success, but his friends have withdrawn from him out of anger that his book has been processed. His fourth novel, Histoire de petite fille , was published in 2016 and is about a young porn actress in Los Angeles.
