Alain Jouffroy (11 September 1928 – 20 December 2015) was a French writer, poet and artist.[1]
Jouffroy was born near Parc Montsouris, Paris. He was the first advocate of an Art Strike[2] and formed the L'Union des Ecrivains during the strikes of May 1968 in France with Jean-Pierre Faye. He was also a great influence on the Zanzibar Group—part of the French new wave who took part in the Paris demonstrations at this time.[3]
He won the Prix Goncourt for poetry in 2007.
