Jean-Christophe Bailly (French pronunciation:[ʒɑ̃kʁistɔfbaji]; 3 May 1949) is a French writer, poet and playwright.
Biography
Bailly was born in Paris. Very early on, he decided to devote himself to writing. His book Tuiles detachées explains this decision, as well as several important steps for the formation of his style. Close to surrealism when he entered literature, he moved away from it. His thought constitutes the modern continuity of certain ideas of German romanticism: the idea of a sense without borders and moving forms, in the spirit of what Novalis calls the "Encyclopedia".
He founded and directed the magazines Fin de siècle (with Serge Sautreau [fr] for four issues between 1974 and 1976[1]) and Aléa (for nine issues between 1981 and 1989). He also directed the series "Détroits" at Éditions Christian Bourgois [fr] (with Michel Deutsch [fr] and Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe) and "35-37" at Hazan.
