The novelist and journalist died on Tuesday June 20 at her Parisian home.
Journalist and novelist Claude Sarraute died at the age of 95 at her Parisian home, her son Martin Tzara announced to AFP on Tuesday, June 20. His state of health was deteriorating. In 2019, she said she could no longer walk, see or hear.
The woman of letters, journalist for 35 years at Le Monde, was also a pillar of Laurent Ruquier’s programs on television and Big heads on the radio. For many viewers she will remain the deceptively ingenuous granny, who imposed her sense of burlesque on the sets.
Born July 24, 1927 in Paris, Claude Sarraute was the eldest daughter of one of the great writers of the 20th century, Nathalie Sarraute (1900-1999), and lawyer Raymond Sarraute. She was married for a long time to the philosopher, essayist and journalist, the academician Jean-François Revel, who died in 2006.
Claude Sarraute wrote several novels “Hello, Lolotte, it’s Coco”, “Ah! love, always love”, “Sarraute, the girl of the year”, “Dad who?”, “Say, do you love me?”, “Say see, Maminette…” or “ Belle belle belle”…, which she mischievously described as “clowneries”.
She was the mother of sports journalist Martin Tzara and Nicolas Revel, head of the AP-HP.
