Un Roman français (Grasset, 2009) is a book about memory and childhood revisited, but also about the transition towards manhood, the metamorphosis of an immature boy into a pacified adult.
Born in Neuilly sur Seine, columnist for Lire magazine, and presenter of Cercle on Canal Plus, Frédéric Beigbeder is the author of Vacances dans le coma, L’Amour dure trois ans, (Holiday in a coma and Love lasts three years), 99 francs (£9.99), Windows on the world (Windows on the world), L’Egoïste romantique and Au Secours pardon.
French born Agnès Catherine Poirier moved to London in 1995. She is an independent journalist. As an author she published Les Nouveaux Anglais, Touché! A French woman’s take on the English and Le Modèle anglais: une illusion française.
