Author
Stephen CLARKE
Stephen Clarke lives in Paris. Having studied French and German at Oxford, this is not his first time outside his native England. In 1993, he arrived in France to work as a journalist. In 2004 he published his novel A Year in the Merde which sold over a million copies in twenty countries. It was translated into French under the name God Save la France. Stephen has written six other novels; an essay Français, je vous haime which contains the eleven commandments for understanding the French (ten are not enough); history books such as How the French Won Waterloo, Edward VII, an English King Made in France and 1000 Years of Cordial Disagreement. The latter inspired the permanent exhibition at the Centre Culturel de l'Entente Cordiale at the Château d'Hardelot, near Boulogne-sur-Mer, of which Stephen is the scientific curator. He has also adapted two of his books into live shows, co-written a sitcom and a play for French radio, and written jokes and lyrics for other artists. Having played bass and guitar since his teens, he occasionally performs his own songs in Parisian and London clubs.
