Antoine Laurain (born 1972 in Paris) is a French writer.His first novel, ''The Portrait [Ailleurs si j'y suis]'' won the Drouot Prize in 2007, and was followed by ''Smoking Kills [Fume et tue]'' (2008) and ''Carrefour des Nostalgies'' (2009). In 2012 ''The President’s Hat [Le Chapeau de Mitterrand]'' would be one of the year's great successes. The novel won the Landerneau prize for emerging writers and the Relay travel prize. Translated into 17 languages and published in English by Gallic Books, in 2013 it became one of the highest selling French books in translation. Antoine Laurain participated in a US tour for ''The President’s Hat'' at the invitation of American independent bookshops. The tour lasted 15 days, during which time he visited 10 cities.
In 2015 ''The President’s Hat'' was adapted for television (France 2) with Frédéric Diefenthal, Michel Leeb, Frédérique Bell and Roland Giraud (directed by Robin Davis, music by Vladimir Cosma).
''The Red Notebook [La femme au carnet rouge]'' was published in 2014 and was translated into 22 languages, including under the German title of ''Liebe mit zwei Unbekannten'' (Hoffmann und Campe) and the Italian title of ''La donna dal taccuino rosso'' (Einaudi). The cinematic rights were sold to UGC.
In 2016, the German translation of ''The Red Notebook'' made the Spiegel bestseller list, and the German translation of ''The President’s Hat'' became the eighth-highest selling book in Germany that year. ''French Rhapsody [Rhapsodie française]'' was published the same year by Flammarion. Antoine Laurain returned to the US for the ''French Rhapsody'' tour, which consisted of six cities in nine days, and which confirmed the popularity of his books beyond the French borders.
On the 11th of April 2020, Camilla Parker Bowles, the Queen of England and wife of Charles III, published a list of nine books she recommended for reading during the COVID-19 lockdown on the Clarence House Instagram account, the account previously used to provide updates on King Charles and Queen Camilla's activities.
