Roger Ikor (28 May 1912 – 17 November 1986) was a French writer, winner of the Prix Goncourt in 1955.
[1] He was a student and professor of literature at the Lycee Condorcet and the Lycée Pasteur in Neuilly-sur-Seine.
Les eaux mêlées (1955), which won the Goncourt Prize the same year, and which forms with The Spring Graft, a diptych titled Sons of Avrom, tells the story of a Jewish family that settled in France, and was bound by blood with a non-Jewish French family.
Spanning three generations, the story describes the relationship the family developed with their new homeland.
One of Ikor's sons had joined a Zen sect, against his father's wishes, and committed suicide.
