Florian Zeller ([flɔ.ʁjɑ̃ zɛ.le]; born 28 June 1979) is a French novelist and playwright. His work has been translated into many languages. He won the prestigious Prix Interallié in 2004 for his novel La Fascination du Pire (Fascination of Evil) and several Molière Awards for his plays. He is, according to The Guardian, "the most exciting new theatre writer of our time".[1]
Biography
Zeller wrote his first novel Artificial Snow when he was twenty-two years old. But it was his third novel, Fascination of Evil (the 2004 Prix Interallié winner) which made him a household name in France. The book, which explores the relationship of the West with Islam, caused some controversy. It was selected for the Prix Goncourt.
His black comedy, The Father, is one of the outstanding hits of recent years, playing in London's West End to ecstatic five star reviews and top listings in the Best Plays of the Year. It was considered as "the most acclaimed new play of the last decade"[This quote needs a citation] and won several awards and nominations in Paris, London and New York.[citation needed]

Zeller lives in Paris. He is married to ex-model, actress and sculptor Marine Delterme,[2] who played one of the main roles in the Parisian production of his play Le Manège. They have a son, Roman, born in December 2008.[3]
