Antoine Mouton was born in Feurs in 1981. He is the son of a schoolteacher and a blacksmith who often relocated when factories shut down. Since 2004, he has published ten books, novels and poems, with various publishers, including La Dragonne, La Contre-Allée and Christian Bourgois. HKZ, le livre du revenir, has just been published by Ypsilon. He is currently working with the Jeanne Simone company to create a performance in a public place, and regularly gives readings of his own texts, sometimes accompanied by the musician Mathilde Braure. Au nord tes parents, his first book, won the Prix des Apprentis et Lycéens of the PACA region. In India, he would like to write a story about two people who get up every night to photograph the mountains.
