Edmond Jabès ([ʒabɛs]; Hebrew: אדמון ז'אבס, Arabic: إدمون جابيس; Cairo, April 16, 1912 – Paris, January 2, 1991) was a Jewish writer and poet, and one of the best known literary figures to write in French after World War II. The work he produced when living in France in the late 1950s until his death in 1991 is highly original in its form and its breadth.
