About Jean-Didier Wolfromm

Lived 1941 – 1994 (aged 52). Jean-Didier Wolfromm was a French literary critic.

Jean-Didier Wolfromm (21 May 1941 – 26 January 1994) was a 20th-century French novelist and literary critic.

Biography A former student at the École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs, Wolfromm worked as a critic for Le Magazine Littéraire, France-Soir and L'Express. He collaborated in particular with the France Inter radio program. His judgments were often caustic, even scathing. He had become a figure of the Parisian literary milieu. His work - especially his novel - was the reflection of his existence, that of a man not much spoiled by nature (handicap plus chronic illness), for whom seduction was nothing obvious.

Works 1978: , Éditions Grasset, prix Interallié. 1989: La Leçon inaugurale, Grasset, prix Maurice Genevoix
