Philippe Lançon (French: [lɑ̃sɔ̃]) is a journalist working for the French satirical weekly newspaper Charlie Hebdo, who was wounded in the terrorist attack perpetrated against that publication on 7 January 2015.

Work[edit]

Lançon works primarily for other French publications, specializing in literature. He is a weekly contributor to Charlie Hebdo.

Lançon also wrote for Libération, a newspaper in France, and is a critic on Latin American writings. He is also an educator on culture and Latin American literature, having been a guest speaker at Princeton University on occasion. In the Fall of 2015 he was expected to teach a course at Princeton titled "Writers and Dictators in Latin America."[1]

Terrorist attack[edit]

Lançon was attending a weekly meeting of Charlie Hebdo at the time of the attack on 7 January 2015. He was wounded in the face by rifle fire and was left in critical condition, but ultimately survived his injuries.[2] Once assured of his survival after long medical treatment and therapy, he wrote his story in the book Le Lambeau [Shreds], for which he received two literary prizes in France.[3][4]

In 2012, he was awarded the Prix Henri de Régnier of the Académie française for his work Les Îles.

In 2013, he received the Jean-Luc Lagardère award for Journalist of the Year.

In 2018, he was awarded the Prix Femina and the Prix Renaudot Jury's Special Prize for his autobiographical book Le Lambeau.
