Where Would I Be Without You? by Guillaume Musso (Book Analysis) - Bright Summaries
FRENCH AUTHOR
Born in Antibes in 1974.
Notable works:
Will You Be There? (2006), novel
The Girl on Paper (2010), novel
Central Park (2014), novel
Guillaume Musso was born in Antibes in the south of France in 1974, and knew from a very early age that he wanted to be a writer. A trip to New York when he was 19 proved a formative experience, providing him with many ideas for his novels. He studied economics at university, and taught the subject until 2008. His breakout novel, Afterwards… (2004), has sold over a million copies and has been translated into over 20 languages to date. His subsequent novels, including A Mix-Up in Heaven (2005), Will You Be There? (2006) and Lost and Found (2007), also proved a hit with readers and cemented his position as one of France’s most popular contemporary novelists. A number of his books have been adapted into films.
