Black notebook. This Tuesday, June 20, 2023, Claude Sarraute, novelist and former columnist of “Big heads”, died at the age of 95. A shock for Laurent Ruquier who did not fail to pay him a vibrant tribute on the airwaves of RTL during the 10 o’clock news.
“‘The big heads’ of Philippe Bouvard revealed Claude Sarraute to the general public. She was a journalist at ‘Le Monde’ but only the readers of ‘Le Monde’ knew her. I invited her to France Inter at the time. I was still at France Inter in the 1990s. I discovered a wonderful woman. Right away, I told her: ‘You have to join me’. And she joined me. “, he confided with emotion.

“It’s been 30 years that it lasts! Finally… that it lasted! Because it’s been a year or two that she was no longer with us in the shows. It had become difficult. But we celebrated all her birthdays together , in New York, in Cuba… Sorry…”, added the host before bursting into tears. And to conclude:I’m having a lot of trouble because I have a lot of memories coming back.”She’s a wonderful woman. She is one of the first free women, more feminist than we imagine. […] She had so much to tell.” A sequence relayed on the official social network of the radio which aroused strong reactions.
Like Laurent Ruquier, listeners are just as upset by the disappearance of Claude Sarraute. “Her incredible life, her epics, and her little glass of rum before going to bed… only memories, of hours of listening to this brilliant woman”, wrote a user. And another to add: “I understand Laurent Ruquier, we had a great time with them. But 95 years old is so beautiful. Thank you both for these good times”. A very sad day…
