Biography

Serge Groussard studied at the Calvin Institute in Montauban, at the La Rochelle high school, and at the Lycée Gouraud in Rabat, Morocco. He later attended the Faculty of Arts and the Sciences Po, both in Paris.

In September 1939, he volunteered for the duration of the Second World War and participated as a pupil infantry officer in the fighting on the Loire. An information officer for the French Resistance, he was arrested in January 1943 by the Gestapo, sentenced to thirty years in prison, and deported to Germany. He recounted this experience in his first published work, Crépuscule des vivants, in 1946.

In 1953, Groussard was a military parachutist. From October 1956 to October 1957 and again in 1959, he served as lieutenant, then captain, in Algeria, to which he dedicated the narrative Écrivain.

His career was devoted to writing novels and stories, for Le Figaro from 1954 to 1962 and l'Aurore from 1962 to 1969.
