Donald E. Westlake

Donald E. Westlake (1933-2008) was one of the most prolific and talented authors of American crime fiction. He began his career in the late 1950's, churning out novels for pulp houses—often writing as many as four novels a year under various pseudonyms such as Richard Stark—but soon began publishing under his own name. His most well-known characters were John Dortmunder, an unlucky thief, and Parker, a ruthless criminal. His writing earned him three Edgar Awards: the 1968 Best Novel award for God Save the Mark; the 1990 Best Short Story award for "Too Many Crooks"; and the 1991 Best Motion Picture Screenplay award for The Grifters. In addition, Westlake also earned a Grand Master Award from the Mystery Writers of America in 1993.

Pierre Bayard

Pierre Bayard (born 1954) is a French author, professor of literature and connoisseur of psychology.

Bayard's recent book Comment parler des livres que l'on n'a pas lus?, or "How to talk about books you haven't read", is a bestseller in France and has received much critical attention in English language press.

A few of his books present revisionist readings of famous fictional mysteries. Not only does he argue that the real murderer is not the one that the author presents to us, but in addition these works suggest that the author subconsciously knew who the real culprit is. His 2008 book L'Affaire du Chien des Baskerville was published in English as Sherlock Holmes was Wrong: Re-opening the Case of the Hound of the Baskervilles. His earlier b

Boualem Sansal

Boualem Sansal, né en 1949 à Theniet El Had, petit village des monts de l’Ouarsenis, est un écrivain algérien, principalement romancier mais aussi essayiste, censuré dans son pays d'origine à cause de sa position très critique1 envers le pouvoir en place. Il habite néanmoins toujours en Algérie, considérant que son pays a besoin des artistes pour ouvrir la voie à la paix et à la démocratie. Il est en revanche très reconnu en France et en Allemagne, pays dans lesquels ses romans se vendent particulièrement bien, et où il a reçu de nombreux prix.

Son ami Rachid Mimouni (1945-1995) l'encourage à écrire. Boualem Sansal, bien que grand lecteur, ne se vouait pas à l'écriture. Il commence pourtant à écrire en 1997, alors que la guerre civile bat so
