Biography

During her childhood, Grangaud discovered the works of Marcel Proust.[2] In 1962, she left Algeria and settled in Montpellier. In 1987, she published Mémento-fragments with Éditions P.O.L.[2] She then published sixteen other works in collaboration with other publishers.[3]

Grangaud was elected a member of Oulipo,[4] one of the few women in the group.[5] A specialist in anagrams, she created the sexagrammatine constraint[6] and the "avion".[7]

She died in Brie-Comte-Robert on 15 January 2022, at the age of 80.[8]
