Cédric Gras
From 27 May to 25 June 2024

The French writer and reporter Cédric Gras was born in 1982. He was active on several fronts, simultaneously it seemed, with long-distance travels, a passion for mountaineering, and university studies in geography, before embracing the expat life in Eurasia, where he headed several Alliances françaises. These restless eventful years provided material for a long series of texts, novels, short stories and historical studies. The French publisher Stock has brought out L’hiver aux trousses (2015), Anthracite (2016), Saisons du voyage (2018), and the diptych Alpinistes de Staline (2020, the Prix Albert Londres) and Alpinistes de Mao (2023).
