- Joël_Dicker abstract "Joël Dicker is a Swiss novelist from Geneva, Switzerland, a French-speaking city.Dicker was born on June 16, 1985, and attended Geneva schools. At age 19 he left for drama school in Paris, at the Cours Florent. After one year he returned to Switzerland to enroll in law school, where he received his Masters of Law from the University of Geneva in 2010.Joël Dicker became Europe’s publishing sensation of 2013 when his book La Vérité sur l’Affaire Harry Quebert sold nearly a million copies in France. However, his writing career started when he was a child. At age ten he founded La Gazette des Animaux, a monthly magazine about wildlife. He was its editor-in-chief for seven years. In this capacity he won the Cunéo Prize for the Protection of Nature, and was named “Switzerland’s Youngest Editor-in-Chief” by the Tribune de Genève.In 2010, at age 25, Dicker won the Prix des Ecrivains Genevois (Geneva Writers’ Prize), a prestigious prize for unpublished manuscripts. After his win, the Parisian editor Bernard de Fallois acquired Dicker’s winning submission, Les Derniers Jours de Nos Pères, and published it in early 2012. Only six months later, in September 2012, de Fallois published Dicker’s La Vérité sur l’Affaire Harry Quebert.With translation rights sold in 32 languages, The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair has been called “the cleverest, creepiest book you'll read this year.” The worldwide excitement started at the 2012 Frankfurt Book Fair, where many foreign editors rushed to buy the rights from Bernard de Fallois.In late October 2012, La Vérité… (The Truth…) won the 2012 Grand Prix du Roman de l’Academie Francaise. It was also shortlisted for the Prix Goncourt and the Prix Femina.In November 2012, La Vérité… was awarded the Prix Goncourt des Lycéens. For this prize, 2000 French-speaking high school students vote on their favorite novel from the year’s Prix Goncourt shortlist. In summer 2013, La Vérité… knocked Dan Brown’s Inferno from the top of bestseller lists all over Europe. Early readers of the English translation have described the book as “literary and clever.”Considered Switzerland’s answer to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and compared to the fiction of Nabokov and Roth as well as the television series Twin Peaks, The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair will be published in the United States by Penguin on May 27, 2014. It was one of the biggest original acquisitions in the history of Penguin Books.".
