About this person
Joan Bodon was an author who wrote exclusively in Occitan, although he is credited as Jean Boudou in the French translations of his works. His mother was a contaira, or storyteller, from Rouergue 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.
