Nicolas Rayappa was born in 1997 in Fréjus (83) and lives in Cachan (94). He is the author of the novel *Les Éléments du Fou* (The Elements of the Fool). A dreamer since his adolescence, he puts his boundless imagination into words through fantasy. He draws much inspiration from his memories, both good and bad, as well as from pop culture and his sensitivity to the animal world. He is also a volunteer writer for a news outlet about a famous scarred wizard. A huge fan, only his glasses aren't a replica of his hero's.
