Curtis was born in Orthez, Pyrénées-Atlantiques. He was one of the founders of the literary monthly La Table Ronde in 1948. He was elected to the French Academy in 1986.
Martin Seymour-Smith said of Curtis in the early 1980s:

Martin Seymour-Smith said of Curtis in the early 1980s:
- He is one of the best of the 'conventional' novelists now writing in France, but is very uneven: he is not worried about originality of technique, and prefers to concentrate on what he can do well, which is to anatomize bourgeois societies and 'artistic' communities.
