Émile Brami (born 19 April 1950) is a French writer and bookseller of Tunisian origin.[1] He was born in Jendouba, formerly known as Souk El Arba, in Tunisia. He moved to France in 1964 and settled in Paris. He is a specialist on Louis-Ferdinand Celine, the 20th-century writer, and published a biography in 2003.
