Biography
Olivier Bourdeaut was a real estate agent in Nantes when the loss of his work led him to devote himself to literature. He worked for two years writing a first novel, dark, which however found no publisher. While residing with his parents in Spain he devoted himself to the writing, in seven weeks, of another light and wacky novel that would become En attendant Bojangles.{{Cite news|url=http://www.culturalresuena.es/2017/09/esperando-mister-bojangles-olivier-bourdeaut|title="Esperando a mister Bojangles" de Olivier Bourdeaut|last=González Cueto|first=Irene|date=2017-09-20|work=Cultural Resuena|language=es-ES}}[http://www.lefigaro.fr/livres/2016/01/28/03005-20160128ARTFIG00281-olivier-bourdeaut-primoromancier.php Olivier Bourdeaut, un premier roman qui rafle la mise] on Le Figaro (28 January 2016) Published by éditions Finitude, the first to acquire its rights, the book received the enthusiastic support of Jérôme Garcin in Le Nouvel Observateur,[http://bibliobs.nouvelobs.com/l-humeur-de-jerome-garcin/20160108.OBS2469/retenez-bien-ce-nom-olivier-bourdeaut.html Retenez bien ce nom : Olivier Bourdeaut] by Jérôme Garcin in Le Nouvel Observateur 11 January 2016. and immediately met an enormous success with the public.[http://larepubliquedeslivres.com/bojangles-bien-arrive-bourdeaut-aussi/ Bojangles bien arrivé, Bourdeaut aussi] by Pierre Assouline on La République des livres 12 February 2016.
