Thierry Marignac

Last updated May 07, 2019

Thierry Marignac (born 1958 in Paris) is a French writer and journalist.^[1]

A writer is a person who uses written words in various styles and techniques to communicate their ideas. Writers produce various forms of literary art and creative writing such as novels, short stories, poetry, plays, screenplays, and essays as well as various reports and news articles that may be of interest to the public. Writers' texts are published across a range of media. Skilled writers who are able to use language to express ideas well, often contribute significantly to the cultural content of a society.

A journalist is a person who collects, writes, or distributes news or other current information to the public. A journalist's work is called journalism. A journalist can work with general issues or specialize in certain issues. However, most journalists tend to specialize, and by cooperating with other journalists, produce journals that span many topics. For example, a sports journalist covers news within the world of sports, but this journalist may be a part of a newspaper that covers many different topics.

Biography

Marignac was married to Natalya Medvedeva in 1985. In a column composed shortly after her death, Marignac wrote that the marriage had been enacted in order to allow Medvedeva to remain in Paris.

Natalya Georgievna Medvedeva was a Russian poet, writer, singer, and member of Tribunal rock band.

In another column, Marignac recounts his youth and his growing aversion to politics:

I was born with that indifference, like my old school friends. We belonged to a generation born between '55 and '62, between a rock and a hard place; we had seen our older brothers shift all gears from the idealism of the 68 firebrands to the sated greed of overfed businessmen in the 80's. On the other hand, we had also been witnesses to the twilight of Giscard Gaullism in the 7O's, cynical, corrupted, and dumber by the minute, a withered, musty, curdled France. The choke-hold on culture engineered by the Left during its long conquest of the media in the 70's left few options: either join ranks with the likes of Le Figaro, submitting to good manners, wealthy families and try to charm the reactionaries, or bow to the former Leftists' values, swear allegiance to the humanitarian principles that had already been used as excuses to so many massacres, and good old bourgeois methods of screening and keeping the niggers down. The baby-boomers were masters at playing the competition between generations, and made sure that the one following immediately, who had witnessed their treachery against their old ideals, would be silenced from the start. On the other side of the spectrum, the reactionaries went on ruling their turf with their own brand of cooptation, relying on a shrinking but still comfortable accumulated capital.^{[ citation needed ]}
