Pierre Lemaitre, who was one of the novelists who sold the most books in 2018, thus finds the Calmann-Lévy house where he has already published
Robe de groom
in 2009 and
Cadres noirs
in 2010.
A new impetus
At the time of joining one of the oldest publishers in France, the novelist justified his choice:
"When giving a new impetus to my literary project, I felt the need to have a new partner.
My meeting with the Calmann-Lévy team and the special bond that I was able to forge, during our discussions, with Philippe Robinet convinced me.
I am very grateful to the Albin Michel teams for the work carried out over the past ten years. ”
For his part, Philippe Robinet, general manager of Calmann-Lévy editions, who has already managed to attract Guillaume Musso in his nets, in 2017, declares, about this nice publishing move:
"I am particularly happy to welcome again Pierre Lemaitre at Calmann-Lévy.
Since its founding in the 19th century, the house has published the great novelists, and more broadly the great voices of each generation.
Pierre Lemaitre, whose brilliant work is recognized both in France and abroad, is fully in line with this literary and cultural heritage of which we wish to ensure the continuity. ”
