Philibert Humm

Philibert Humm (born 27 October 1991) is a French novelist and journalist.

Humm wrote for Paris Match and published three books of travel literature about France before his debut novel Roman fleuve was published in 2022. A humorous tale about three friends who travel along the Seine in canoes, it is partially a hommage to Jerome K. Jerome's Three Men in a Boat and uses playfully archaic language. Roman fleuve was awarded the 2022 Prix Interallié.

He followed the debut with Roman de gare in 2024 and Roman policier in 2025. These novels are characterised by a similar sense of humour.
