Biography

After studying management at HEC Paris, Christophe Bataille worked for two years in London in cooperation for L'Oréal. It was there that he wrote his second novel, Absinthe, following the success of the first, Annam, which was well received by critics.

Back in Paris, he changed careers in 1995 and moved into the world of publishing at Grasset while he continued to write at night.

Since January 2007, he has supported Bibliothèques Sans Frontières, a young NGO which aims to facilitate access to knowledge in developing countries.
