About the author

Éric Jourdan was the pen name of Jean Roger Éric Gaytérou, later changed in Jean-Éric Green after his adoption by american writer Julien Green.

His first book was the 1955's novel Les Mauvais Anges, (lit. "Evil Angels"), published at fifteen years old, which was banned for his homosexual, violent and controversial content. However it was later published in english in a special edition with the title Two, translated by Richard Howard.

Jourdan, proudly independent, always rejected to be included in the Parisian literary and intellectual world, as any political party. After his parents' death he was adopted by writer Julien Green. He changed his identity numerous times and wrote under many pseudonyms which he never revelead.

He was buried next to his stepfather in St. Egid Stadtpfarrkirche of Klagenfurt, Austria, in february 2015.
