Raymond Radiguet

Raymond Radiguet was born on 18 June 1903 in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, the son of the press cartoonist Maurice Radiguet. He gave up his studies at about the age of fourteen to write and turned to journalism. While still an adolescent, he met Jean Cocteau, who became his mentor and introduced him to the Parisian avant-garde. He wrote two novels, the second of which appeared after his death, and died in Paris on 12 December 1923, at the age of twenty.
