Robert Stone

    21 août 1937 – 10 janvier 2015

    Robert Stone a écrit sept romans, son œuvre se distinguant par sa complexité psychologique, ses préoccupations politiques et son humour noir. Il possédait une profonde affinité pour les marginaux, en particulier pour ceux qui s'attiraient des ennuis. Stone a magistralement transformé les folies de ses personnages en art, explorant des thèmes à travers des figures telles qu'un enseignant adultère, un marin fraudeur ou un journaliste assiégé. Ses récits couvraient des cadres variés, du Sud américain à l'Extrême-Orient, révélant un talent unique pour dépeindre la fragilité humaine.

A modern-day pirate, he was involved in deep-sea diving, fishing, treasure-hunting and, more than anything else, smuggling, which brought him more money than he knew how to spend. Stone spent the last ten of his smuggling years in Africa, where he traded in illicit fuel.
