Marcel Jacques Amand Romain Boulenger[1] (Paris, 9 September 1873 – Chantilly, Oise, 21 May 1932) was a French novelist and fiction writer. He was awarded the Prix Nee of the Académie Française in 1918[2] and the Prix Stendhal in 1919.[3] He was also a fencer of international standard, competing in the late 19th century and early 20th centuries.
Writings[edit]
As an author he is primarily known for his pastiches and his many faux "autobiographies" of imaginary persons, for example the Souvenirs du marquis de Floranges (1811-1834) (1923), and Le Duc de Morny, prince franc̦ais (1925).[4][5]
Olympics[edit]
He competed in the fencing at the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris and won the bronze medal in the foil,[6] being defeated by fellow French fencer Henri Masson in the semi-final. Twelve years later he participated in the art competition at the Summer Olympics in Stockholm.[7]
Family[edit]
He was the brother of the journalist Jacques Boulenger.[8]
