Olivier Todd was educated at the Sorbonne and Cambridge, and is a journalist and award winning writer. He is the author of several acclaimed books and biographies. He lives in Paris.
With admirable detachment, Olivier Todd has told us how and why Camus wrote and lived so magnificently -- Tom Rosenthal * Daily Mail * Todd has spared no pains in his search for significant details... it is difficult to imagine that there can ever be a more exhaustive study of Camus' personality and of the relationship between his work and his life * New York Review of Books * Todd, in this first authorised, definitive life - and one which is unlikely to be surpassed - reveals Camus to be far more fun that one would expect the author of L'Etranger to be * Time Out * The biography of the season... Mesmerising * Observer * Clear eyed, compendious, with full access to the Camus archive, [Albert Camus] fulfilled every expectation... Todd's biography is both remarkably thorough and candid, and will prove indispensable to all those interested in Camus' life... completely fascinating -- William Boyd * Daily Telegraph *
