Laurent Binet is a French author who won the Prix Goncourt du Premier Roman for his debut HHhH, a genre-bending account of the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich. His work is known for its intellectual ambition, playful approach to historical fiction, and willingness to subvert literary conventions. Civilizations is his audacious alternate history imagining what would have happened if the Incas had colonised Europe instead of the other way around. Binet blends scholarship with wit and narrative daring. His audiobooks and books are stimulating, inventive listening and reading for fans of literary fiction that plays boldly with history and form.
