Picture of Julien Torma
Born	(1902-04-06)April 6, 1902 Cambrai, France
Died	February 17, 1933(1933-02-17) (aged 30) Tyrol, Austria
Occupation	Poet, writer, playwright
Known for	Mysterious disappearance

Torma disappeared in the mountains of the Tyrol at the age of 30.^{[citation needed]} Due to his secretive behaviour and the impossibility of verifying the supposed details of his life (i.e. no living or known family members and every writer he supposedly knew having died long before the publication of his posthumous books - if they are by the author of the early books, no professional career, no fixed address, his body having never been recovered, etc.), it has been suggested by some, including Jean-François Jeandillou, that Torma's existence may be fictitious.[1] His purported birthday, 6 April, is marked as "the birthday of pataphysics" in the "pataphysics calendar". The real writer who authored the first four publications and Porte battantes would have had to be using a pen name, as, according to the French institute for statistics INSEE, only three Torma births have been recorded in France since 1891, all between 1941 and 1965.^{[citation needed]}

Julien Torma (Cambrai, 6 avril 1902 - Tyrol, 17 février 1933) est un écrivain, dramaturge et poète français. Ami de Max Jacob et de Robert Desnos, il fréquenta le groupe surréaliste sans jamais y adhérer, se sentant plus proche de la ’Pataphysique d'Alfred Jarry que du Surréalisme d'André Breton. Ses écrits furent principalement révélés de manière posthume par le Collège de ’Pataphysique.
