Search - List of Books by Jean-Louis Curtis
Jean-Louis Curtis (May 22, 1917 - Nov. 11, 1995), pseudonym of Louis Laffitte, was a French novelist best known for his second novel The Forests of the Night (French: Les Forêts de la nuit), which won France's highest literary award the Prix Goncourt in 1947. He has authored over 30 novels.
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.
