Biography

Noël published his first book of poetry, Les Yeux Chimeres, in 1955. This was followed by the prose poems Extraits du corps in 1958.
He then waited nine years before publishing his next book, La Face de silence, and eventually the controversial Le Château de Cène, erotic fiction that has been read as a protest against the war in Algeria.
