Georges-Olivier Châteaureynaud is a French novelist and short story writer. He was awarded the Prix Renaudot in 1982 for the novel La Faculté des songes and the Prix Goncourt de la nouvelle in 2005 for Singe savant tabassé par deux clowns, he has been general secretary of the Prix Renaudot since 2010. Georges-Olivier Châteaureynaud was born in Paris in 1947. After the divorce of his parents, he lived alone with his mother, first in a maid's room in Paris and in suburban cities, his childhood is marked by precariousness - housing difficulties in the post-war years - and his mother's depression. The paternal grandfather, an official in the Ministry of Finance, is his paternal figure. With his grandparents, uncles and cousins, he spent all his holidays in Brittany; these biographical elements are to be found in many of Châteaureynaud's texts, always from the point of view of fiction. His work should not be regarded as autobiographical, with the exception of La Vie nous regarde passer, where Châteaureynaud evokes his childhood and youth, his years of training, the discovery of literature and his meeting with his future companions.

In the 1970s, he and his friend Hubert Haddad founded several literary magazines, with only a few deliveries, but which oriented his literary commitment. In 1973 he published Le Fou dans la chaloupe at Éditions Grasset, a collection of three books of three long stories, in 1974 the novel The Messengers, which won the Prix des Nouvelles littérares; until the Renaudot was awarded in 1982, he earned his living by successively working as a cashier, a truck driver at the Saviem, a dealer, a librarian, while continuing his literary work. Georges-Olivier Châteaureynaud won the Prix Renaudot for La Faculté des songes in 1982. Since 1996, he has been a member of the jury for this award, he is part of the current called magic realism. Olivier Châtaureynaud chaired the Société des gens de lettres from 2000 to 2002 and is now one of the directors, he is a member of numerous literary juries including the Prix Bretagne. Since 2010, he has been general secretary of the Prix Renaudot; the author of an important work - one hundred short-stories and nine novels published to date - Chateaureynaud builds a personal and poetic universe.

His texts, which are described as fantastic, are rather related to the dream domain. There is nothing gory or bloody in his writings, but a peculiar vision of the world and of society, which deliberately deviates from social observation and autofiction. In particular, Châteaureynaud developed his ideas on fantasy in his preface to Divinités du Styx, an anthology of the news of Marcel Schneider, one of his avowed models. After referring to the diverse ways in which Schneider and Roger Caillois have spoken of the fantastic, Châteaureynaud rejected Caillois's conception that fear would be a predominant feeling in fantastic literature. ".</ref> On many occasions, Chateaureynaud thus expressed the high opinion that he, like Marcel Schneider, has of the prestige of fantastic, a literature according to him better able than the different realistic currents to grasp the reality of being. He is one of the artisans of the revival of short story in France in the 1970s, with Annie Saumont, Claude Pujade-Renaud or Christiane Baroche.
