About This Item
Synopsis
Born in Paris in 1929, Olivier Todd studied at the Sorbonne and at Cambridge University. He taught for a few years before turning to journalism. He has been a reporter, a columnist, and an editor at Le Nouvel Observateur and L'Express . He has also contributed to the Times Literary Supplement and Newsweek International , and worked for the first French television channel and the BBC. Todd is the author of numerous books, including novels, essay collections, and biographies. Jean-Paul Sartre endorsed Todd's first published novel and later called him--in jest--his "rebel son." Albert Camus has enjoyed both critical and popular success in France, and has been translated into more than ten languages. A recognized observer of the French political and literary scene, Todd is currently at work on a new biography of André Malraux. He lives in Paris.
