Olivier Jacquemond

Olivier Jacquemond (1980-, Paris) is French novelist, essayist and poet.^[1]

His novel, New York Fantasy, was published by the Mercure de France (part of the Éditions Gallimard publishing group) in 2009.^[2] The protagonist is a young Frenchman who comes to New York. Jacquemond says he wrote "a novel about 9/11 that never speaks directly about 9/11".^[3]

He is the author of two collections of poetry ("Toit, Twin Towers" (Le Regard du texte, 2008) and "Blanchatre" (Centre Vendôme pour les Arts plastiques, 2003), a series of essays ("The Three Secrets", published by Sens+Tonka 2004, 2006), and a novella called "Acrylique" (Sens + Tonka, 2002,^[4] also published in Italian ^[5]).

The French daily Le Figaro noted that "Jacquemond's writing works because it is sincere, a style that finds the right distance between melancholy and lucidity."^[6]

Jacquemond has a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Paris (L'Université Paris 7) on the subject of friendship ^[7] and was a visiting researcher at Columbia University in New York. He currently writes and teaches in Paris.
