Marianne Leconte, editor who gave science fiction a home in French publishing, dies at 82
The novelist, anthologist and editor died on 28 August, according to Livres Hebdo, which recalled her role in building a science-fiction list in France.
Marianne Leconte, a novelist, anthologist and editor closely associated with French-language science fiction, died on 28 August at the age of 82, Livres Hebdo reported.
According to the same source, Leconte created the collection "Titres/SF" in 1979 at the publishing house Jean-Claude Lattès, a list that helped anchor science fiction within French literary publishing at a time when the genre had few dedicated homes in the mainstream book trade.
Livres Hebdo's report does not detail further titles, awards or specific works associated with her career, and Tomeling has no further sourcing to add at this time.
