Diand,and Michel,

Thank you for responding to me with what you think you know.  That is
helpful, too. If in your reading, you, or anyone else here, comes across
something published on Lyotard's birthplace, I would appreciate you posting
it.

Again, thanks.
..Lois Shawver

Lois, Diane, et al,
I have the same recollection, that Lyotard was indeed born in Versailles in
1924, but cannot be sure where I found that information. I vaguely recall
that a brief biography can be found at the beginning of the French edition
of Signe Malraux, which gives such information; there is also an interesting
biographical memoir in the Yale French Studies issue dedicated to Lyotard
(YFS 99, 2001) by Michel Butor.

Lois, I believe he was born in Versailles, but I'm not sure where I got

20th century rhetors a few years back, and I see that I began:
"Jean-Franois Lyotard was born in Versailles in 1924..." I remember
struggling to find information about his birth, and then...as I was
writing this piece, he died. Suddenly a lot of info came out (mainly in
obit pieces and memorials) that I hadn't been able to find before. So
that may have been where i picked it up.

Best, ddd
