Roger Peyrefitte

    August 17, 1907 – November 5, 2000

    Roger Peyrefitte was a French author renowned for his provocative novels that delved into controversial themes, particularly concerning sexuality and societal taboos. His writing style was characterized by its candidness and often scandalous exposure of hypocrisy and pretense among prominent figures of his era. He frequently wove his own experiences, including homoerotic encounters and his life as a diplomat, into his narratives, earning him both admiration and sharp condemnation. He was known for his polemics against the Catholic Church and for revealing the hidden lives of public figures.
