(Paris) The journalist and novelist Claude Sarraute, woman of television and radio, died in the night from Monday to Tuesday, her family announced to AFP.
Claude Sarraute died at his Parisian home at the age of 95, she said.
Woman of letters, journalist for 35 years at World, Claude Sarraute was also a pillar of Laurent Ruquier’s television programs and “Big heads” on the radio. For many viewers, she will remain the unworthy granny, falsely ingenuous, who imposed her sense of burlesque on the sets.
Born July 24, 1927 in Paris, Claude Sarraute was the eldest daughter of one of the great writers of the 20e century, Nathalie Sarraute (1900-1999), and lawyer Raymond Sarraute. She was married for a long time to the philosopher, essayist and journalist, the academician Jean-François Revel, who died in 2006.
Claude Sarraute has written several novels (Hello, Lolotte, it’s Coco, Ah! love always Love, Sarraute, the girl of the year, Dad who?, Say, do you love me?, Say see, Maminette… Or Beautiful beautiful beautiful…), which she mischievously described as “clownery”.
She was the mother of sports journalist Martin Tzara and Nicolas Revel, head of the AP-HP.
