Joseph Andras
Joseph Andras (* 1984 ) is a French writer who lives in Le Havre , Norman .
According to the assumption of Pierre Assouline , a member of the jury of the renowned Prix Goncourt , Joseph Andras is a pseudonym . Andras himself, of whom only a single photograph has been circulating on the Internet so far , completely avoids media exposure, which means that little is known about his identity or biography.
For his debut work De nos frères blessés (published in German in 2017 under the title Die Wunden Our Brothers ), Andras was awarded the Prix Goncourt for a debut novel on May 9, 2016, two days before the book was actually published , which he rejected. According to his agent at Actes Sud , Andras' concept of literature does not coincide with the idea of a competition . The subject of the book is the history of the Algerian War, which is still highly sensitive in France, and the fate of Fernand Iveton, who campaigned for independence as a Frenchman on the Algerian side, but after a betrayal in 1957 by the government under René Coty , François Mitterrand as Minister of Justice belonged to, was executed.
Andras writes regularly for the daily newspaper L'Humanité and has been campaigning for the release of various imprisoned journalists since 2017 in journalism and in the form of petitions .
