Biography

Françoise Lefèvre was born 22 November 1942 in Paris. She made her debut in literature in 1974, and each of her books tells about the episodes of her life. From La Première habitude to her latest book Un album de silence. Love life, sentimental life, life of wanderings sometimes, life in writing too.
Thus, Les larmes de André Hardellet relates a unique encounter between the young novelist and the poet of La Cité Montgol: on Place Desnouettes, south of the 15th arrondissement of Paris. On July 23, 1974, the sick and disenchanted poet met this young woman. The ice broke from the start. The new friends planned a visit the next day in Vincennes, home town of Hardellet. It did not take place: the poet died during the night.
Her son, whose autism she mentioned in her book Le Petit Prince Cannibale, published an account of his disease in 2013: L'empereur, c'est moi, at éditions de l'Iconoclaste.
