Quentin's second novel is about Jean Roscoff, a retired alcoholic academic who unwittingly finds himself the victim of 'woke politics' following the publication of his book on an obscure American poet. Le voyant d'Étampes has received ravereviews and was considered a 'serious candidate for the Goncourt' by Le Soir. The novel won the Prix de Flore and made it to the second round of the Prix Goncourt as well as the first selection for the Prix Renaudot.
