Philippe Muray

Who is Philippe Muray?

Philippe Muray, was a French essayist and novelist. Although none of his works have yet been translated into English, Muray is considered one of the most influential thinkers of his generation. In 2002, Daniel Lindenberg included him in his notorious list of "new reactionaries" - along with Michel Houellebecq, Maurice Dantec, Alain Badiou, Alain Finkielkraut and others. In 2010, the French actor Fabrice Luchini read some of Muray's works at the Théâtre de l'Atelier in Paris, which contributed to a renewed discussion of his writings in the French press.
