About the Author
Philippe Le Roux was born in England in 1951 but went to South Africa as a child when his parents divorced in 1954. A university student during apartheid, Philippe was jailed and put in solitary confinement for seven months. When he was released, he went into exile in England. With a BA from the University of Cape Town and an MBA from London Business School, he joined the World Bank as an investment officer in 1978. Over the ensuing forty years, he worked across various industries, reviving a famous motorcycle company and managing a successful chain of restaurants. Since completing a Master’s Degree in Creative Writing at Birkbeck, he has written this biography and a novel.
