Biography

After his mother was sent to a psychiatry ward due to suicidal attempts, Juliet was brought up by a family of Swiss peasants. At age 12, he went to school in Aix-en-Provence and at 20 he went on to study in Lyon. Three years later he dropped out and took to writing.

Fifteen years later he published his first book, Fragments, with a preface by Georges Haldas. During that time he also met with other artists, namely Michel Leiris, Raoul Ubac, Bram van Velde, Pierre Soulages, and Samuel Beckett.^[1]

Juliet resided in Lyon. He died on 26 July 2024, at the age of 89.^[2]

"Lambeaux" is currently on the syllabus for the French Baccalaureate.
