Romain Gary is not as famous as he deserves. In today’s Neuer Zürcher Zeitung one of his early books in German translation is being reviewed.
The reviewer adds some interesting biographical material.
I had forgotten, or I never knew, that Romain Gary was married to Jean Seberg who committed suicide in 1979.
In 1980 Romain Gary committed suicide himself. He left a short note: “No connection with Jean Seberg. Lovers of broken hearts are kindly asked to look elsewhere.”
