Lionel Duroy

Last updated February 06, 2022

Lionel Duroy de Suduiraut (born 1 October 1949) is a French writer and journalist born in Bizerte (Tunisia)^[1] into an impoverished family of aristocratic origin who long shared extreme right-wing ideas. His youth in this environment left a profound mark on him and was the breeding ground for many of his books. ( Priez pour nous [ fr ], Le Chagrin). Lionel Duroy was first a delivery man, a courier, a worker, then a journalist at Libération and at L'événement du jeudi [ fr ]. Since the publication of his first novel in 1990, he has devoted himself entirely to writing novels with an essentially autobiographical content.^[1] He is happy to talk about his mother, the family trauma linked to his father's war wounds and the legal expulsion of his family from their home in 1955 - following a lack of solidarity from the rest of the family.
