Josyane Savigneau (born 14 July 1951) is a French journalist and writer for Le Monde.
Biography
Savigneau was born in Châtellerault, France.
She became editor-in-chief of Le Monde des Livres, editorial subdivision of Le Monde (2005).
She has written three biographies – on Marguerite Yourcenar,[1] Carson McCullers, and Juliette Gréco – as well as an auto-biography.
She is a supporter of the paedophile writings of Gabriel Matzneff, whose book, entitled The Under 16s and other works gave graphic descriptions and mentioned children as young as eight, and she dismissed the scandal as a “witch-hunt”.[2]
