Philibert Humm (born 27 October 1991) is a French novelist and journalist.
Humm wrote for Paris Match[1] and published three books of travel literature about France before his debut novel Roman fleuve (lit. 'River Novel') 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.[2][3]
He followed the debut with Roman de gare (lit. 'Station Novel') in 2024 and Roman policier (lit. 'Police Novel') in 2025. These novels are characterised by a similar sense of humour.[4][5]
