At 91, French author Claude Ollier has passed away; he published his last book ... last year: Cinq contes fantastiques (see the P.O.L. publicity page).
Surprisingly little notice of his death so far, even in the French press -- but see, for example, Sabine Audrerie's Mort de l'écrivain Claude Ollier.
Several of his works have been translated; most of these were published by -- of course -- Dalkey Archive Press. (And, yes, Ollier's work fits the Dalkey-profile to a T.)
Only one of his works is under review at the complete review: Wert and the Life Without End.
See also Cecile Lindsay's 1988 A Conversation with Claude Ollier from the Review of Contemporary Fiction.
