Gabriel Matzneff

Gabriel Matzneff (August 12th 1936 with Neuilly-sur-Seine) is a French writer.

One can find certain numbers of recurrent themes in his work:

the Libertinage and love of the young graduates , which is worth to him charges of apology for the Pédophilie (in particular in the context of the end of the year 1990), although he asserts only loves divided with the pubescent ones.
the Mysticism and the reference to the orthodoxe worship .
references to the Antiquity, the Suicide and its friendship with Henry de Montherlant.
some Dandy EMS, a taste for dilettantism and voyages.

Gabriel Matzneff explained in several of its books its tastes for the young graduates , boys and minor girls who on various occasions could share her bed. Already provocantes at the time of their publication, at the end of the Years 1970, these confessions became scandalous in the years which followed during which the question of the Pédophilie became a major concern. In 1982, it was implied wrongly in the Affaire of Coral, which caused its reference of the newspaper Le Monde , then it was attacked in literary emissions, in particular by the journalist Quebec Denise Bombardier during an emission of Bernard Pivot. Become a sulfurous personality, it does not appear almost any more on the media scene but continues to publish.
