Career
Career
Colin has been awarded the Grand Prix de l'Imaginaire four times, including for his 2003 novel Dreamericana. Jacques Baudou, writing in Le Monde, described him as "l'un des quatre mousquetaires de la jeune fantasy française" (one of the four Muskeeters of young French fantasy), and said of Les Enfants de la Lune that "Le lecteur aura bien du mal à oublier celui que Fabrice Colin a imaginé, comme il aura du mal à oublier ces Enfants de la lune qui nous laissent au coeur une tenace sensation de perte" (The reader will have a hard time forgetting what Fabrice Colin imagined, just as he will have a hard time forgetting these Children of the Moon who leave us with a persistent feeling of loss in our hearts). Les Enfants de la Lune was awarded the Prix de la PEEP.
