Yves De Wolf-Clément
Yves De Wolf-Clément is a Belgian writer of novels and short fiction. He writes in French and lives between Brussels and Kigali — two worlds — a distance that runs quietly through his books.
His first novels were published by Le Cri. His short stories now appear through his own imprint, édition du Chat Rond — recognisable by the round cat on its spines.
Au fil de l'eau
Nine stories of ordinary lives carried by the current — from Brussels to New York, from Marrakech to Rwanda — caught in the moments where everything tips, gently or brutally.
Les Chemins de Goma
Set in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, where mineral wealth meets extreme poverty and guerrillas, aid workers, adventurers and survivors cross paths. A tense, propulsive novel about the fragile border between commitment, chaos, and revolutionary illusion.
Rwanda. Deux Sangs, une vie
Two bloods — his own, and the one Rwanda spilled. Set against the 1994 genocide, a debut novel about a divided inheritance and the cost of belonging to two worlds at once — where the questions of where one comes from and what one carries stop being abstract and turn into a matter of survival. The book that began everything — now being entirely rewritten, two decades on.
