Quentin Mouron and Jérémie André

Quentin Mouron was born in Lausanne in 1989. With his first novel, "Au point d’effusion des égouts", published in 2011 by Olivier Morattel éditions, Quentin Mouron was the winner of the Prix Alpes-Jura of the Association des écrivains de langue française. Notre-Dame-de-la-Merci, published in 2012 by Olivier Morattel éditions, was translated into German and is currently being adapted for the opera and theatre. Trois gouttes de sang et un nuage de coke, published in 2015 by Éditions de la Grande Ourse, was published in paperback by 10/18 and has been translated into German and English. His latest novel, Vesoul, le 7 janvier 2015, was published in January 2019 by Éditions Olivier Morattel and is currently being translated into German. It has had considerable success among both readers and critics.

Born in 1987 into a family of mathematicians, Jérémie André takes a good twenty years to realise that mathematics and he are not a good match. The realisation comes somewhat late, it must be said, since he has already embarked on medical studies. Between lessons in biochemistry and histology, he then immerses himself in reading the classics—an activity he had previously neglected in favour of video games—and writes, in the margins of his lecture notes, stories about alter egos who, following in the footsteps of Arturo Bandini or Martin Eden, give everything up for writing. Having settled in Vevey since completing his studies, he divides his time between his work as a doctor, writing, family life and his activist commitments.
