About the author
Stephen Clarke is a British journalist who lives in Paris, where he divides his time between writing and not writing.

Since then he has published more bestselling Merde novels, and a range of non-fiction work including Talk to the Snail, an indispensable guide to understanding the French, a history book, 1000 Years of Annoying the French, which was a Sunday Times bestseller, and Dirty Bertie, a biography of King Edward VII's adventures in France.
