French writer Gilles Perrault, who wrote a damning assessment of King Hassan II of Morocco titled “Our Friend the King” in 1990, passed away from a heart attack at the age of 92 on Thursday.
Born Jacques Peyroles, Perault penned numerous works throughout his career.
He initially practiced law, transitioned into journalism, and ultimately found his path in literature.
His book “Our Friend the King” triggered a significant crisis between Rabat and Paris due to its critical examination of Hassan II’s reign.
