Pierre Fritsch
Pierre Fritsch (born August 19, 1930 in Jœuf , Meurthe-et-Moselle department ; † August 30, 2005 in Le Touquet-Paris-Plage , Pas-de-Calais department ) was a French columnist and writer.
Life
His first literary attempts came from his training. Since Fritsch saw his future in this by his own admission, he gave up his job in industry and began to study. Between 1970 and 1978 he was regularly featured in the features section of the Le Republicain Lorrain newspaper .
At this time Fritsch had already made a very successful debut with his first novel - "Une enfance lorraine". When he was able to increase this success with his next novel, he gave up his job and devoted himself only to his literary works.
Pierre Fritsch died 11 days after his 75th birthday in Le Touquet-Paris-Plage and found his final resting place there.
