The Author

Raphaël Perrenoud defines himself as a cat, tea, East and evening type character. His inclinations tend towards the acidic and springtime.

An acrobat by training, he grew up in Geneva before adopting a nomadic life that allows him to dedicate part of his time to writing. His first novel, Avant de Partir, reflects twenty years of travel, dreams and questioning.
