Dominique de Roux

Dominique de Roux (17 September 1935 – 29 March 1977) was a French writer and publisher. Early life Dominique de Roux was born in a Languedoc noble family that was close to monarchist circles (his grandfather, Marie de Roux, was the lawyer of Charles Maurras and Action Française). While deeply attached to his Charente land, Dominique de Roux showed an early independence and the desire to devote himself to literature. In 1960 he married Jacqueline Brusset, daughter of Gaullist deputy Max Brusset. Their son Pierre-Guillaume Roux was born in 1963 and later became a publisher. Career In the late 1950s de Roux created several language courses in Germany, Spain and England. Upon his return to France, he founded with several friends (including his brother Xavier de Roux, his sister Marie-Helene de Roux and Jean Thibaudeau) the mimeographed bulletin L'Herne, where he published his "Confidences to Guillaume", a chronicle of lyrical cynicism addressed to his geranium. He served in the French military.
