Jean-Luc Benoziglio (19 November 1941 – 5 December 2013) was a Swiss-French writer and publishing editor.[1]
He was born in Monthey, Valais, on 19 November 1941. His father, Nissim Beno, was a Jewish psychiatrist who had emigrated from Turkey; his mother was an Italian and a strict Catholic. The Holocaust was a recurrent concern of his writing.[2]
Benoziglio studied law at the University of Lausanne but dropped out before completing his degree, and moved to Paris where he remained for most of his life. His first avant-garde novels, produced 1972–8, were popular only within a small circle. His sixth novel, Cabinet-portrait, published in 1980, had a more mainstream style and received more widespread attention, as well as being awarded the Prix Médicis.[2][3][4] In 2010, he was awarded the Grand Prix C. F. Ramuz, honouring his lifetime of work.
His work is characterised by black humor and the influence of the Nouveau roman and Oulipo.[3]
Jean-Luc Benoziglio died on 5 December 2013, aged 72, in Paris, France, where he had lived since 1967.[5][6]
