Chris Cotonou

Chris Cotonou is a writer who lives between London and Tunis. He is the deputy editor of culture journal A Rabbit's Foot and is the author of Columbia Pictures: 100 Years of Cinema, published by Assouline. Over the years, he has been fortunate to interview a variety of great artists and filmmakers — including Martin Scorsese, Jeremy O Harris and Luca Guadagnino ‚ for the likes of Esquire, the London Evening Standard and GQ. His great passion lies in writing travel stories, and he has published essays for the Financial Times and other outlets on Lebanon's Golden Age haunts, new Athens, Florentine sandwiches, Cypriot holy wine, and Tunisia's harissa trail. When time permits, he likes to work on his book about the Greek diaspora. Chris was born and raised in London, and first wanted to become a journalist as a child, after watching Pingu pretend to be a reporter on TV. He is a long-suffering fan of Tottenham Hotspur, but please don't hold that against him.
