Éric Jourdan (1938–7 February 2015) was a French novelist and playwright.[1][2]

Perhaps his most famous book is his first, Les Mauvais Anges (English: The Wicked Angels, also translated into English under the title Two), published in 1955 when Jourdan was 17. It was immediately a source of controversy^{[citation needed]} for its frank and erotic depiction of a homosexual relationship between two adolescent boys (who were cousins). Despite being banned twice over the course of thirty years, it was critically acclaimed.^{[citation needed]} A translation into English by Richard Howard soon followed, and was also well received.^{[citation needed]}

After the reception of Les Mauvais Anges, Jourdan continued to write using pseudonyms. He moved often and lived a bohemian lifestyle, living in Savoie and Tyrol, Austria before becoming the adopted ward of French-American writer Julien Green, after which he lived primarily in Paris.
