Joan Bodon (Occitan pronunciation: [dʒwam buˈðu]; French: Jean Boudou), who was born in Crespin, Aveyron, Occitania (France) on December 11, 1920, and died on February 24, 1975, in Algeria.[1] He was an author who wrote exclusively in Occitan although he is credited as being called Jean Boudou in the French translations of his works. His mother was a contaira, or storyteller, from Rouergue (and distant relative of Honoré de Balzac) and paved the way for his love and frequent use of traditional Occitan language folktales and figures. Together with Renat Nelli, Marcela Delpastre, Robèrt Lafont, and Max Roqueta, Bodon ranks among the most prominent Occitan writers of the twentieth century.
