About this ebook
Jean Lorrain
Jean Lorrain, Fécamp, 9 août 1855 - Paris, 30 juin 1906 De son vrai nom Paul Alexandre Martin Duval, ce fils de bonne bourgeoisie provinciale sortit vite du rang. Ayant jeté ses études aux orties, il se lança dans la poésie, la littérature et le journalisme. Mais surtout il sut jouer de son goût de la provocation pour se composer un personnage outrancier haut en couleurs, bagarreur, scandaleux, et volontiers vulgaire. Son attrait morbide pour les paradis artificiels, les ambiguïtés de sa sexualité, joints à la qualité indéniable de ses oeuvres, composent un ensemble hétéroclite qui exclut d'emblée l'indifférence. Usé par ses extravagances, il finit par mourir à 50 ans, après plusieurs cures de désintoxication peu concluantes.
