Serge Koster (3 August 1940 – 12 January 2022) was a French writer and academic.[1]
Biography
Koster was born on 3 August 1940,[2] into an Ashkenazi Jewish family from Poland. In 1960, he met his wife, Geneviève, with whom he had a daughter, Delphine, as well as three grandchildren.[3] In 1970, his father died in a traffic collision, which prompted him to write Le soleil ni la mort in 1975, edited by Maurice Nadeau.
After earning an agrégation in grammar, Koster became a French teacher at the Lycée Voltaire in Paris. He was a literary critic for the radio program Le Panorama, broadcast on France Culture. He also edited the magazine La Quinzaine littéraire [fr]. Since 2015, he had served on the editorial board of La Nouvelle Quinzaine littéraire.[4]
Koster died on 12 January 2022, at the age of 81.[5]
