My Take
Serge Brussolo fascinates me precisely because he refuses to stay in one lane. Science fiction, crime, children's books, screenplays, this is a writer who treats genre as a playground rather than a cage, and the range of awards he has collected confirms it is not dabbling but mastery. There is something thrilling about a French imagination that vaults over your expectations, and I genuinely wish I could spend an afternoon inside his head. He may be a hidden treasure to many readers outside France, but those are exactly the writers I most want to champion. He reads to me like an author worth discovering before it is too late.
