About the author

Nicolas Fargues is a French novelist.

From 1998 to 2002, he had various jobs in journalism, libraries and publishing. He published two novels Le Tour du propriétaire (2000) and Demain si vous le voulez bien (2001) before achieving his first major public and critical success, with One Man Show, published in 2002.

This book is based on his own experiences in the media world where he encountered celebrities whom he found "smaller and more tired than on the screen". Two years later, he published Rade Terminus, which was inspired by his experience as an expatriate, directing the Alliance Française in Antsiranana (Madagascar).

Reviews

[Alain · Rating 2 out of 5]

Différentes histoires qui parfois se croisent a Diego Suarez. ONG, expats, touristes, malgaches. Mais la vision de l'auteur sur ses personnages et donc sur l'humanité est si pessimiste que la lecture en devient frustrante.

A lire si tu as jamais travaille comme expat en Afrique ou avec un ONG.

A prendre dans sa valise pour un voyage à Mada ou au retour pour retrouver l'ambiance de certains lieux!

Très sympa!
