Biography[edit]
He spent most of his childhood in the Loyalty Islands of New Caledonia. Returning to Brest, he completed his secondary education there, and in 1970 began studying philosophy at the University of Bretagne-Occidentale, which he later completed in Clermont-Ferrand.
From 1978 to 1992, he taught philosophy in Quimper, Lannion and Vannes.
In 1992, he moved with his family to Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon to launch Francoforum,[1] a new French-language institute focusing on Canada and the United States. For eight years, he was the first director of the institute and, through a wide range of actions in favor of the French-speaking world, contributed to the economic diversification of Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, following the 1993 moratorium on cod fishing (which changed to a quota policy in 1997).
He taught philosophy and history-geography at the Lycée Émile-Letournel in Saint-Pierre, before returning to central Brittany in 2010.
On his return to France, he became a more media-savvy figure than in the past, benefiting from the notoriety conferred by his Saint-Pierre experience and by his new and illustrious publisher Maurice Nadeau; a regular guest on major radio and TV channels, and a contributor to magazines, cultural festivals, documentaries and features. His works Les Veuves de verre (2010), dedicated to the great North American cities that fascinate him and with which he has long been in contact, and La Chambre de Veille (2012), composed in the semaphore on the island of Ouessant, where he lived for four months and took part in the island's Salon du livre (as an "airlock", as he puts it,[2] after his eighteen years of isolation and retreat in Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon), received considerable media promotion. In 2012, he won the Prix Xavier-Grall for his book Les Veuves de verre, published by Maurice Nadeau.
On March 28, 2013, Alexis Gloaguen met archivist Jérôme Allain at a "Archives et Écriture" professional day organized in Rennes by Livre et Lecture en Bretagne. Their conversation led to the project, implemented the following autumn, of processing and classifying his drafts and archives. Working with Jérôme and Fanny Allain, the project will take an entirely new look at the writing process. Beyond the different states of a text, the aim is to find on the pages the material traces of the circumstances that saw them come into being.
In September 2014 Digues du ciel was published, intended as a continuation of Les veuves de verre, with the impetus of composing a coherent" and specific suite.
