Ayerdhal
(26 January 1959 – 27 October 2015)
[1]
was a French
thriller
and
science fiction
writer from
Lyon
. His later work preferred the thriller genre;
Transparences
,
Resurgences
and
Rainbow Warriors
play with various genres.
Rainbow Warriors
(published at the end of May 2013) flirts with
political fiction
with most protagonists being LGBTQ. He received the
Grand Prix de l'Imaginaire
in 2005 for
Transparences
and in 1993 for his novel
Demain une oasis
.
[2]
He is considered one of the leading names in both genres. He shared the
Prix Tour Eiffel
with co-author
Jean-Claude Dunyach
for their 1999 novel
Etoiles mourantes
. He also received an award for his novel
Parleur ou les chroniques d'un reve enclave
and two for
Transparences
, a
thriller
. He also received the Cyrano award for lifetime achievement in the service of genre fiction and its actors.
Ayerdhal was born in the
La Croix-Rousse
area of
Lyon
. In addition to his own writing career he devoted part of his time to supporting aspiring young authors and, with Le droit du Serf, to struggle with copyright law exceptions in the service of authors.
Ayerdhal held genre fiction in the highest regard, not only as a tool for learning but as tool for the expression of one's imagination and political inspirations. He frequently used a quote from French philosopher
Jean-Paul Sartre
: "The writer's function is to make sure that no-one can ignore the world and that no-one can declare him/herself innocent."
