Guillaume Musso is one of the most popular contemporary French authors. From his early childhood, immersed in books and plays, Musso became convinced that he would one day write novels. After finishing high school in France, he left for the United States at the age of 19. Musso spent several months in New York City, living with other young foreigners and earning his money by selling ice cream. He returned to France with his head filled with ideas for novels. The influence of his time in the United States is evident in his works, as the action often takes place overseas. He currently teaches in a high school in the south of France while continuously working on his novels.
