Biography
[edit]
Jérôme Garcin was a pupil at the lycée Henri-IV in Paris before undertaking journalism studies. He then worked for the weekly L'Événement du jeudi. He published his first poems in the early eighties. In 1989, he succeeded Pierre Bouteiller to animate the show The Masque and the Plume of France Inter, of which he later became the producer. He also holds the position of deputy director of the weekly Le Nouvel Observateur and collaborates with the newspaper Service littéraire. A former member of the Prix Décembre, he was elected to the Prix Renaudot in March 2010[1] In the same year he was a member of the Prix Françoise Sagan.
In 1994, he received the prix Médicis essai for Pour Jean Prévost. The son of Philippe Garcin, an editor at the Presses universitaires de France (PUF), who died at the age of 45 as a result of a horse accident,[2] He would dedicate him his first novel, La Chute de cheval, for which he was awarded the Prix Roger Nimier in 1998. When he was six, he accidentally lost his twin brother Olivier. He will dedicate him Olivier, a narrative published in 2011.
Garcin won the Grand Prix de littérature Henri-Gal of the Académie française in 2013 and the Prix Prince Pierre de Monaco in 2008.
He is married to actress Anne-Marie Philipe, the daughter of actor Gérard Philipe.
Controversy
[edit]The website Acrimed suggested a conflict of interest between his profession of literary criticism, of animator producing the most prescriptive radio program in literary matter, and that of writer: the highly praising critics of Jérôme Garcin's works would not be alien to the dominant position he occupies in the French literary microcosm.[3][4]
