Louis Nucéra (17 July 1928 – 9 August 2000) was an award-winning 20th-century French writer. He published his first novel L'obstiné in 1970.
Je suis venu au monde à l'ombre précaire d'une bicyclette suspendue entre ciel et terre.
[I came into the world in the precarious shadow of a bicycle suspended between heaven and earth]
As well as being a writer, Nucéra was a cyclist (he rode the same circuit as the 1949 Tour de France), a bank clerk, a journalist, a press secretary in a record company, and a literary director at JC Lattès. He recalls his childhood in Nice in Avenue des Diables bleus. In 1991 he wrote Le ruban rouge which chronicles the life of Italian immigrants. In Mes ports d’attache he evokes his friendships with Cioran, Kessel, Picasso, Cocteau, Hardellet, Brassens and Moretti.
Nucéra died on August 9, 2000 in the industrial zone of Carros when he was hit by a car while bike riding.
