Jérôme Lafargue est né en 1968 dans les Landes. Lire, bayer aux corneilles et écrire sont les activités qui le motivent le plus. L’ami Butler est son premier roman. D’autres suivront sans doute, ainsi qu’une pharaonique Encyclopédie sans queue ni tête qui le placera haut dans le firmament (de quoi, on ne sait pas).
Lorsqu’il lui arrive d’être sérieux, il travaille en Afrique orientale.
Jérôme Lafargue was born in 1968 in the Landes. Reading, gaping and writing are activities that motivate him most. L'ami Butler is his first novel. Others will probably follow, as well as a grand Encyclopedia without meaning which will place him high in the firmament (of what, we do not know).
When he comes to be serious, he works in East Africa.
"This beautiful novel is conducted with skill and finesse. We let it involve us and, like Johan we conduct the investigation with delight as the words are chosen carefully, so that it is impossible to close it until you have sorted out the plot." (Anne-Sophie Demonchy, Le Magazine des Livres, September-October 2007).
