Jean-Claude Lamy

Jean-Claude Lamy (born 3 August 1941)[1] was a French journalist, writer and publisher.

In addition, he was also a chronicler at Le Figaro, through which he met the great writers of his time (Hervé Bazin, Marguerite Duras, Albert Cohen, Marguerite Yourcenar, François Nourissier, Paul Gordeaux [fr] etc.)

The novelist confided her memories, and he wrote, with her agreement and complicity, an important biography, Françoise Sagan, une légende (Mercure de France).

Passionate about publishing,[3] and popular novel [fr], in particular the adventures of Arsène Lupin and Rouletabille,[4] he created the "Cercle Gaston Leroux" with the daughter of the author of the Mystère de la chambre jaune.

Among the first members were Jacques and Pierre Prévert, who later inspired him a new book, which was crowned by the Goncourt of biography in 2008.
