Nicole de Buron
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Born on 12 January 1929 in Tunis, de Buron first worked for the magazine Marie Claire before she began writing novels.[3] She was the mother of two daughters.[4]
Her 1958 novel Les Pieds sur le bureau won the Prix Courteline.[5] She won the prix du Livre de l'été with the novel Qui c'est, ce garçon ? and the Grand Prize for Humor with Arrête ton cinema!.[6] In the mid-1990s, de Buron left her longtime publisher, Groupe Flammarion, to join Plon.[7] In 2003, she became the 3rd best-selling French novel writer.[8] She began operating an agricultural domain in Castelreng, near Limoux in 2014. For this, she won a medal from the Order of Agricultural Merit.[9]
Most of de Buron's works were autobiographical humorous stories.[10][11] She also often engaged in self-mockery.
De Buron largely wrote the script of the TV show Les Saintes chéries, an adaptation of two of her novels.[12][13] She was also the screenwriter of six comedy films, including Take It From the Top, Erotissimo, and Elle court, elle court la banlieue.[14] She generally helped with adaptation and dialogue in films based on her novels.[15]
