About
Jeremy Mercer is a Canadian-born author, journalist, and translator.
He has written four books of non-fiction and has translated one book from French into English. He has also published essays in newspapers and magazines in Europe and North America.

He is a grand admirer of work such as The Orchid Thief by Susan Orlean, Where Men Win Glory by Jon Krakauer, and Zeitoun by Dave Eggers.
Mercer was a founding member of the Kilometer Zero Project in Paris and continues to contribute to the group’s KMZ REB blog.
He currently lives in Marseille, France with his fiancée, two children, four cats, three chickens, and one white rabbit. He plays clay court tennis and is embarrassingly attached to the Olympique de Marseille football team.
