[edit]

After four essays on journalism published between 2010 and 2016, Buzy published his first novel, Ponos, in 2017.[3]

In 2018, his book of reports called Impact(s) was very well received by critics,[4] especially in the journalistic community.[5][6]

Between 2018 and 2020, he published books on Cuba, Rojava, Marinaleda,[7] as well as a book of investigations about societal issues.[8][9][10] The French television channel France 2 referred to a "fascinating and relevant" work, while Canal+ emphasized "a fresh breath, an inspiration for those who have the desire to get out of asphyxiating situations".[11]

In 2021, he published his second novel, And green and blue go together so well.[1] In 2022, he published a children's book titled The Panda Who Was in Love with a Penguin, which achieved notable success and was later translated into several languages.[12]

In 2023, William Buzy co-authored a book detailing the history of the Stade des Costières, the iconic stadium of Nîmes Olympique, with local journalist Romain Collet-Gaudin.[13] This publication coincided with the club's move to a new stadium and the looming threat of the Costières' demolition.[14] The book compiles the testimonies of 200 key figures, including former players, club officials, referees, local representatives and journalists, documenting the significance of the stadium in local football history.[15][16]

His third novel, The righteous, is released in 2023. [17] [18]. In 2024, William Buzy published an English-language poetry collection.
