Autobiography for Quais du Polar

Born August 1, 1975, journalist, whiskey and country lover (not necessarily in that order), I dream of joining the Foreign Legion under an assumed name: Albert Antonini. Just to cover the tracks but not too much.

Favorite “noir”

livreCherokee,  Richard Morgiève and Unité 8200, Dov Alfon 

film : The Thief, Michael Mann et L’assassinat de Jesse James par le lâche Robert Ford, Andrew Dominik

auteurI am a fanatic (in a dangerous way) of James Ellroy. He could publish his shopping list or a collection of his parking tickets, I would find that absolutely brilliant. On the French side, in polar, DOA.

auteur : Any country or bluegrass song about depression, binge drinking, romance and long, lonely trips on a deserted highway. I’m still looking for the song that will speak of all of this at the same time.

 

Antoine Albertini is a nominee of Prix des lecteurs Quais du Polar/ 20 minutes for his book Malamorte (JC Lattès).
