Biography
Biography
Jérôme Tharaud, along with Jean Tharaud (1874-1953), his brother, were born at Saint-Junien in the Haute-Vienne, but spent their youth at Angoulême. They left their native Limousin at the end of the 1890s to establish themselves in Paris. "Tied to Charles Péguy, whom they followed from the time of the Dreyfus Affair and the Cahiers de la Quinzaine, they soon placed themselves under the patronage of Maurice Barrès (from 1904 onwards), and became his secretaries. The prix Goncourt they obtained in 1906 for [their novel] Dingley, l'illustre écrivain, opened the doors of fame to them. For fifty years, the two brothers wrote novels collaboratively, always signing their works with both their names.
