Stephen Clarke lives in Paris where he divides his time between writing and not writing. His
Merde novels have been bestsellers all over the world including France. His non-fiction books
include Talk to the Snail an insider's guide to understanding the French How the French Won
Waterloo (or Think They Did) an amused look at France's continuing obsession with Napoleon
Dirty Bertie: An English King Made in France a biography of Edward VII and 1000 Years of
Annoying the French which was a number one bestseller in Britain. Research for The French
Revolution and What Went Wrong took him deep into French archives in search of the actual words
thoughts and deeds of the revolutionaries and royalists of 1789. He has now re-emerged to ask
modern Parisians why they have forgotten some of the true democratic heroes of the period and
opted to idolize certain maniacs. Follow Stephen on @SClarkeWriter and
