Writer
Wilfried N'Sondé is a multilingual writer and musician (with 17 literary awards to his name). Le Monde noted that he "did not like identity labels and created unclassifiable characters". Is this a reflection of himself? He was born in Brazzaville, grew up near Paris, lived in Berlin for 25 years and now lives in Lyon. And his music? Unclassifiable, of course: it doesn't fit into the jazz box, or slam poetry, and even less so into the chanson à texte genre. He has just published Héliosphéra, fille des abysses, d'amour et de plancton (Heliosphera, daughter of the abyss, of love and plankton) with Actes Sud.
