Raphaël Glatz

Raphaël grew up between Canada and France, between his father and his mother separated by an ocean. This situation gave him a fine knowledge of Western cultures and opened the doors to a life dedicated to the frenzy of consumption of all goods, in all their material and immaterial forms.

After studying the facets of this superficial and complex culture at New York University, Raphaël turned to the profession responsible for staging this great spectacle: advertising. He spent many years in an agency, as a media planner, a kind of conductor of all the speeches of a brand determined to sell you its product at all costs. He returned to France in 2014, following the internment of his father in a psychiatric hospital and switched to the other side of the mirror by becoming a journalist. He remains in the service of advertising but this time to observe, comment on and explain its changes through the internet and social networks.

86, Childhood Friends is her first novel. Perhaps the last, since it took him 10 years to write it. But in his heart of hearts, he is persuaded to succeed in writing a saga in three volumes.
