Biography
Born in Caen, he spent his youth in a wealthy secularized family of Jewish origins with family connections with the Citroën family. His father was a well-known publisher (Éditions de Minuit), highly esteemed by left-wing and New Wave intellectuals. Mathieu Lindon was a close friend of Michel Foucault with whom he lived and spent most of his time between 1978 and 1984, without being his lover. He was also a friend of writer Hervé Guibert with whom he won a scholarship at Villa Medicis in Rome between 1987 and 1989.[2] Hervé Guibert recorded it in L'Incognito, published in 1989.
From the 1980s, Mathieu Lindon has been a journalist at Libération, a left-wing daily. He wrote a pamphlet against Jean-Marie Le Pen in 1998.[3] He is openly gay, and his work often deals with gay themes.
