Olivier Maulin

Olivier Maulin (born 1969 in Alsace) is a French writer. His works have been characterised by humour and satire. His 2006 novel En attendant le roi du monde received the Ouest-France Prize at the Étonnants voyageurs festival. The journalist Jérôme Leroy has described Maulin as an "anar de droite", a right-wing anarchist, and thereby grouped him with writers such as François Rabelais, Marcel Aymé, Antoine Blondin and the screenwriter Michel Audiard. Reviewing Maulin's novel Les Lumières du ciel for Le Figaro, Frédéric Beigbeder described Maulin as a "neo-hippie".
