Jean-Pierre Kerloch

Of Breton origin and attached to his roots, Jean-Pierre Kerloc'h has chosen to remain in the Aude region. Sometimes in Carcassonne, not far from the famous medieval city, sometimes in his house in the Corbières, his haven of silence, in the middle of the pines and the vineyards. He was a professor at the École Normale de Carcassonne, then at the IUFM in Montpellier.
He has led numerous writing workshops, meetings, conferences, and summer schools, aimed at children as well as the general public, librarians, and teachers of French (notably in Reunion, Germany, Morocco, Bulgaria, Hungary, the Ivory Coast, Peru, etc.).
He has published some seventy works. Writing remains for him, above all, an amusement and a challenge. Each project becomes an exercise in style. It is therefore not surprising that he has moved from poetic writing to humorous albums, from short stories to novels, from textbooks to educational essays or cookbooks. But his great pleasure remains the writing, the rewriting or the detour of tales.
He has been translated into languages as diverse as Japanese, English, Dutch, Greek, German, Indonesian, Korean, Italian, Chinese...
