Kirby Williams, like his hero Urby Brown, sought refuge in France from the racial turmoil of the United States. He has lived in Paris ever since 1962, where he worked in the Secretariat of UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization) from 1967 to 2000 with diplomatic status. Kirby's real-life experiences inform the narrative Rage in Paris - his first novel.
