Claude Sarraute (24 July 1927 – 20 June 2023) was a French writer and journalist and columnist for Le Monde.
She was a recurring panelist on the humoristic radio show Les Grosses Têtes between 1984 and 1995 and from 2014 until her death.
In 1967, she was married to Jean-François Revel (1924–2006), philosopher, writer and member of the Académie Française from 1998 on.
[1][2] During the war, her mother and two sisters fled the capital because of the anti-Jewish laws of the Nazi-collaborating Vichy France, but Claude and her father stayed in her native Paris.
After the war, she worked for four years as an actress, mainly playing minor roles in avant-garde pieces by contemporaries like Romain Weingarten, until she started working for Le Monde in the early 1950s.
