François-Henri Désérable (born Amiens, France, 6 February 1987) is a French author and a former professional ice hockey player.
Literature
His first book, Tu montreras ma tête au peuple, short-stories about the French Revolution, was released in April 2013 by Gallimard and won multiple literary awards.
Two years later, he published Évariste, a novel about Évariste Galois, French mathematician who revolutionized algebra and died at age 20 from wounds suffered in a duel. In France, the book was considered as one of the "literary sensations of the year 2015".[1]
Un certain M. Piekielny, literary investigation around a character invented by Romain Gary, was the only novel selected for the six major French literary prizes in 2017.
In Mon maître et mon vainqueur (2021), he dissects the mechanisms of passionate love. This novel won the Grand Prix du roman de l'Académie française.[2]
His novels are translated into a dozen languages.
Hockey career
François-Henri Désérable was also a professional ice-hockey player.
In 2002-03, he played for Wayzata High School, in the American state of Minnesota.
Coming from the junior team of the Gothiques d'Amiens, with which he had won, in 2007, the French junior championship, he made his senior debut with LHC Les Lions in 2008. In April 2011, he helped the Lions reach the final of the French D2 championship, moving the team up to Division 1. The same year, he was selected among the finalists of the Lions du Sport in the category Best Athlete in Lyon.
He then played two seasons with the Montpellier Vipers, before moving to Paris where he played one more season with the Français Volants before hanging up his skates in 2016, at age 29.
