Biography

Born Jean-Louis Bunel by the name of his mother before taking that of his father-in-law at the age of three,[2][1] Jean-Louis Ezine grew up at Lisieux in Normandy before studying literature and philosophy. While studying in Caen, he made his journalistic debut as a stringer in the weekly Pays d’Auge-Tribune.[3] He left for Paris, performed his military service in 1968/69 in Toulon, then in Fréjus and finally in Djibouti in the naval infantry. He joined the editorial staff of Pif Gadget. In 1972, he became a literary critic for Les Nouvelles littéraires, a journal of which he became editor-in-chief and literary director, and then entered in 1984 at the Nouvel Observateur where he is still working.[4] He also collaborated with the weekly L'Express.

From 8 January 1990, Jean-Louis Ezine held a daily three-minute column on France Culture,[5] taking the form of a humorous and often caustic humor note,[6] in the successive morning programs of the station: Culture matin, Tout arrive !, Pas la peine de crier, then La Matinale. On July 19, 2013, he delivered his 5651st and latest chronicle[7] after the decision taken by the radio station to put a halt to the program. Hezine was also a member of the literary program Le Masque et la Plume on France Inter - of which he was a true pillar, and one of the speakers with the most singular tone[4] since the beginning of the 1990s.

In 2011, Ezine was a jury of the prix Françoise Sagan.[8]

gollark: Really? Oh dear.
gollark: No.
gollark: Not just occasional "team building days" or something.
gollark: I think the "random facts about taxes and whatever" life skills should be learned independently and the vague general stuff like "working in teams" would be best learned through actually doing it seriously.
gollark: I would of course replace the English lesson badness with bringing arbitrary books in to read yourself.
