Biography
Born Jean-Louis Bunel by the name of his mother before taking that of his father-in-law at the age of three,[2][1] Jean-Louis Ezine grew up at Lisieux in Normandy before studying literature and philosophy. While studying in Caen, he made his journalistic debut as a stringer in the weekly Pays d’Auge-Tribune.[3] He left for Paris, performed his military service in 1968/69 in Toulon, then in Fréjus and finally in Djibouti in the naval infantry. He joined the editorial staff of Pif Gadget. In 1972, he became a literary critic for Les Nouvelles littéraires, a journal of which he became editor-in-chief and literary director, and then entered in 1984 at the Nouvel Observateur where he is still working.[4] He also collaborated with the weekly L'Express.
From 8 January 1990, Jean-Louis Ezine held a daily three-minute column on France Culture,[5] taking the form of a humorous and often caustic humor note,[6] in the successive morning programs of the station: Culture matin, Tout arrive !, Pas la peine de crier, then La Matinale. On July 19, 2013, he delivered his 5651st and latest chronicle[7] after the decision taken by the radio station to put a halt to the program. Ezine was also a member of the literary program Le Masque et la Plume on France Inter - of which he was a true pillar, and one of the speakers with the most singular tone[4] since the beginning of the 1990s.
In 2011, Ezine was a juror of the prix Françoise Sagan.[8]
