Biographie et livres de Tom SHARPE

Découvrez tout l'univers de l'auteur en livre numérique
Tom Sharpe, né en 1928 à Londres, s'expatrie d'abord en Afrique du Sud où règne l'apartheid, expérience qui inspirera Mêlée ouverte au Zoulouland et Outrage public à la pudeur, qui connaissent un immense succès. De retour en Angleterre dans les années 1960, il enseigne l'histoire, ce qui lui donnera l'idée de la série introduisant Henry Wilt (quatre volumes parus). "Waugh et Wodehouse maniaient la dague. Moi, je travaille au coupe-coupe", dit-il. Au fil du temps, Tom Sharpe est passé du statut d'auteur-culte à celui de best-seller.
