Jean-Claude Izzo (Marseille 20 June 1945 – Marseille 26 January 2000) was a French poet, playwright, screenwriter, and novelist who achieved sudden fame in the mid-1990s with the publication of his three neo-noir crime novels ''Total Chaos'', ''Chourmo'', and ''Solea'' (widely known as the (Marseilles Trilogy )), featuring as protagonist ex-cop Fabio Montale, and set in the author's native city of Marseille. All have been translated into English by (Howard Curtis ). Jean-Claude Izzo was born on 20 June 1945 in Marseille, France. His father was an Italian immigrant and his maternal grandfather was a Spanish immigrant. He excelled in school and spent much of his time at his desk writing stories and poems. But because of his "immigrant" status, he was forced into a technical school where he was taught how to operate a lathe. In 1963, he began work in a bookstore. He also actively campaigned on behalf of Pax Christi, a Catholic peace movement. Then, in 1964, he was called up for military duty in Toulon and Djibouti. He worked for the military newspaper as a photographer and journalist. == Bibliography == *''Poèmes à haute voix'' (P.J. Oswald, 1970) *''Terres de feu'' (P.J. Oswald, 1972) *''État de veille'' (P.J.
