Biography
His first novel, ''Giovanni Pico'', published in 2007, is devoted to the humanist Jean Pic de la Mirandole. He makes of him a Nietzschean figure and develops a really classic and light style. He obtained the Prix Ulysse for this work. ''La Dernière passion de Son Éminence ''(2008), is an ironic and light novel. It was inspired by a real news story, on which the lawyer Jacques Vergès worked: a triple murder that took place in the Vatican in 1998. Action is however transposed in 1939. By its tone and its construction (using the process of entrenchment stories), ''La dernière passion de Son Éminence'' recalls libertine novels of the eighteenth century. ''Son éminence en rose et blanc ''(2011) uses the same characters (including Cardinal Benvenuto, cocaine addict and debauched old esthete). The plot is pure fantasy this time, although the context of the Vatican and fascist Italy is always really worked. Released in 2009, ''Le Nil est froid'' (Prix Bourgogne de littérature, Prix François-Mauriac de l'Académie française
