One only has to type the name "Patrick DELPERDANGE" on an Internet search engine to realise the place Patrick  DELPERDANGE is occupying in the world of contemporary French literature.

Patrick DELPERDANGE was born in 1960 in Charleroi. At this moment he is living and working in Brussels. He has already written about 20 works, intended as well for a grown-up public as for children. Also in the world of
comic strips his name cannot be ignored.

A lot of his novels have been awarded a prize : with his novel "Monk" he got the Simenon prize, for his theatre play "Nuit d'amour" he got the prize "Jeune théâtre".

The novel "Comme une bombe" published in 1988 was considered an important event in the history of adult literature. This novel has already been translated into Spanish, Romanian and Dutch. The novel "Coup de froid" published in 1992 was also received enthusiastically.

In November 2000 he wrote the scenario for his first comic strip "Gloire à Satan" together with the artist André Taymans.

Some weeks ago his name appeared in the newspaper headlines for his novel "Chant des gorges" : for the first time indeed the traditional Rossel Prize and the Junior Rossel Prize were presented to one and the same novel.
