Jean Ferry, nephew of José Corti, is a specialist in Raymond Roussel's work - an exegete, in fact - from whom he has drawn numerous studies. He was satrape of the Collège de Pataphysique and guest of honor of the Oulipo. In addition to his work as a writer, he is also known as a scriptwriter, notably for such monumental works as Marcel Carné's Les enfants du Paradis and the films of Henri-Georges Clouzot.
