Praise for Alfred de Montesquiou:

Shortlisted for France’s prestigious Prix Goncourt, Grand Prix du Roman de l’Académie Française and won the Prix Renaudot.

‘This virtuoso novel is an ode to epic journalism’ L’Express

As a journalist, I spent years writing stories that came and went. As a novelist, I have discovered the exhilarating new power of writing for the imagination: a realm where a good story can go on living forever, so long as it has readers.
