A former schoolteacher, Christophe Dufosse lives in Paris. School's Out is his first novel. Winner of the Prix du Premier Roman, it is being translated into ten languages.
Dufosse's debut has garnered high praise in his native France and it is easy to see why. The narrative is fast-paced and compelling, the writing assured and witty -- Michael Arditti * Daily Mail * The story hurtles towards a creepy climax with jet-black humour and style -- Kate Saunders * The Times * The debut everyone is talking about... A brilliant first novel, that forcibly reminds one of Donna Tartt's A Secret History * Elle * There is a vague air of menace throughout...Dufosse [is] a shrewd observer of eccentric behaviour -- Paul Bailey * Guardian * Dufosse is roughly what you'd get if you crossed Houellebecq with Alan Warner. His writing is cool, sexy and sinister * Esquire *
