Pierre Dumarchey ( pseudonym Pierre Mac Orlan , also MacOrlan , born February 26, 1882 in Péronne , Somme department , † June 27, 1970 in Saint-Cyr-sur-Morin , Seine-et-Marne department ) was a French writer and journalist.

Life

Dumarchey was the son of Pierre Edmond Dumarchey (1853-1928) and his wife Berthe Francine Artus (1861-?).

He first began a teacher training course in Rouen , which he broke off. He then lived as a poet in great poverty in Paris. After a few years he returned to Rouen and worked there as a proofreader . From 1905 to 1908 he wandered around Belgium, England, Italy and the south of France. Afterwards Dumarchey lived as a bohemian on Montmartre in Paris. He made friends with writers such as Guillaume Apollinaire , Francis Carco , Roland Dorgelès and Max Jacob as well as with the painters Maurice Utrillo , Pablo Picasso , Juan Gris and Georges Braque . In 1913 he married Marguerite Luc.

Dumarchey took part in the First World War. After being wounded, he was discharged from the army in September 1916. In 1918/19 he traveled through Germany as a war correspondent . In 1927 he and his wife retired to the village of Saint-Cyr-sur-Morin, 40 kilometers east of Paris. In 1950 the Académie Goncourt accepted him as a member. Dumarchey died on June 28, 1970 in Saint-Cyr-sur Morin and found his final resting place there.
