Alban Lefranc
Alban Lefranc [ albã ləˈfʀã ] (born April 1975 in Normandy ) is a French writer and translator . He has lived in Paris since 2008 .
He founded the Franco-German magazine La mer gelée , where he works as editor-in-chief.
In May 2007 he received an annual grant from the Center national du livre to work on his third novel .
The three novels in the book Attacks deal with the radical artistic life plans of the filmmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder , the writer Bernward Vesper and the singer Nico . The historical context of these three biographies - the post-war period, the economic miracle, the years 67/68, the Red Army Fraction - is multifaceted and omnipresent in the texts: the mixing of documentary and biographical material, fictional voices and situations creates a complex view of biographical, artistic and historical context.
