For every cook, Paul Bocuse (1926 – 2018) was
a patron saint, a godfather, a “Chef”. He made of
his name a real brand for excellency, including for
those who never tasted his truffle soup or his Bresse
chicken.
The king of culinary arts, he made cooks, previously
confined in back rooms, become real stars. But his
undisputed know-how would be nothing without his
natural marketing sense.
He transformed a cheap hotel restaurant, with pa-
per tablecloths and stainless-steel tableware, into
a three-stars that he kept more than half a century;
he created the “Bocuse d’Or”, the Olympic games of
cooking; and conquered the whole world, from Flori-

24BIOGRAPHIES NON-FICTION
MILAN KUNDERA
The first biography of one of the most
essential contemporary writers,
who turned 90 in April 2019
Born April 1st, 1929, bound to become a musician (as
his father, a notorious piano player), he became a
communist poet. A brilliant ironist, he criticized the
regime in his first novels, with a disenchanted hu-
mor. He taught cinema for more than 20 years in the
Academy of Performing Arts in Prague and took up
boxing as an amateur. Excluded from the Party af-
ter Prague Spring, he left Czechoslovakia in 1957 to
move in France. There he published his hot novel
The Unbearable Lightness of Being and chose, in
1995, French as his unique writing language.
Jean-Dominique Brierre retraces his literary, intel-
lectual and political contrasting path, and gives an
historical enlightenment by basing on Kundera’s wri-
tings and new testimonies from celebrities and close
relationships. Paradoxical, complex, secret, absent
from media, Milan Kundera is considered today as
one of the best writers of that half-century, besides March 2019
Philip Roth or Ismail Kadare. 336 pages
