Since Tuesday, everyone has been grabbing Joël Dicker’s new thriller: “A Wild Animal”. The opportunity to take an interest in the writer, in particular in his relationship with the Canadian Clémence and more precisely in their meeting.
Joël Dicker released this Tuesday A savage animal, a new thriller that is well on its way to causing a sensation. Like his previous works, he who acquired the status of a true “rock star” of literature with the publication in 2012 of his book The Truth about the Harry Quebert affair (Éditions de Fallois/L’age d’Homme). And if he is so successful, it is probably because he is well surrounded in his personal life and can therefore work in good conditions. He also made some confidences about his wife Constance to Paris Match in 2018.
Revealing the way in which this woman from Canada was able to capsize his heart. “We got to know each other. Constance is Canadian. I was seduced by his warm, direct and natural personality. Yes, I am in love. I sometimes smile to the angels, as you say“, Joël Dicker then revealed to the Swiss edition of Paris Match. Our colleagues went to meet him again a few days ago, at his home in Switzerland. We then learn that Constance is “professional psychologist”and that they have two children, born in 2019 and 2021. Together, they form a very beautiful family.
Joël Dicker, his lively daily life in Switzerland
He “All that’s missing is a golden retriever to complete the picture of the perfect family” , as summarized by the journalist who met him. An idea that would please the writer: “I don’t have a dog at the moment, but I would like to have one. I have always had a passion for animals.”Joël Dicker also took advantage of this interview to say more about daily life in Switzerland, along Lake Geneva, where he “takes care of his family, skis and runs.”
The afternoon is very often “devoted to various appointments imposed on him by his new functions as boss of Rosie and Wolfe, the publishing house he founded in 2021” . In the morning he gets up “before SamaGame, around 4 o’clock”,for writing. Which he doesn’t stop doing, even on vacation. Which is perhaps the key to its success!
