Charles Juliet was born in 1934 in Jujurieux, France and lives today in Lyon. He attended military school until age 20, when he entered the École de Sante Militaire in Lyon. Three years later, he gave up his studies and began writing, working in solitude for fifteen years before his first book (a collection of fragments prefaced by Georges Haldas) was published.
