Éric McComber
Author's website

Éric M^cComber was born in Montréal in 1964. He had a short and violent childhood in one of the school of hard knocks districts of Québec. At the age of seventeen he quit college after landing a drummer's seat on a two year long cross country rock tour. That was... interesting. After the typical split up, he took up odd jobs, factory work, etc. He started a part time degree in contemporary music, dropped out of it, became a singer, wrote some songs, recorded a few orphan records.

Suddenly in 2002 his first novel Antarctique came out, published by prestigious Triptyque, which made an impact. Éditions Autrement (France) published  Sans Connaissance in 2007.
Since 2002 McComber has published some twenty short stories both in France and in Québec, among which Eden won the Bande à Moebius Prize at the Montreal Book Fair in 2005. 

In the coming year, while crossing Europe on a bicycle, Eric M^cComber will apply the final polish to: the essay Le Mauvais Siècle, a collection of short stories, a third novel in the sex drugs & rock n'roll spirit of the two first ones, a dirty black novela set in a petrol driven Cuba, and a short collection of passionate letters to a deceased lover.
