Timeline
Martin Winckler (born Marc Zaffran; 22 February 1955, in French Algeria) is a French M.D. and short story, novel and essay writer.
His main topics are the French medical system, the relationships between caregivers and patients and Women's Health.
One of the first TV series critics in France, he has written numerous articles and books on the subject (ER; Grey's Anatomy; House, MD; Law & Order).
His family emigrated from Algeria first to Israel in 1961 then to France in 1962.
He was a dedicated young reader and writer.
After graduating from Medical School in Tours, he practised in a small country town in Sarthe (western rural France) from 1983 to 1993.
From 1983 to 1989, he worked as an editor then as assistant editor-in-chief for the independent medical journal La Revue Prescrire under his real name, Marc Zaffran.
In the mid-80's, his first short stories were published under the pseudonym "Martin Winckler".
This name is a tribute to the French writer Georges Perec: Gaspard Winckler is one of the main characters in La Vie mode d'emploi (Life : A User's Manual), a very important book in Marc Zaffran's literary education.
He opened a rural medical practice in 1983 which he left in 1993 to spend most of his time as a writer and translator.
His first novel La Vacation (pub. 1989) introduces the central character of his major novels, Bruno Sachs M.D., who became famous in France with his second published novel La Maladie de Sachs ; (in English The Case of Dr Sachs Translated by Linda Asher, Seven Stories Press, NY, 2000).
It became a motion picture, written, produced and directed by Rosalinde and Michel Deville (1999).
Created in 2004, his web site "Winckler's Webzine" has published numerous texts about healthcare, contraception, TV serials.
The "Contraception / Gynecology" section is the most frequently viewed.
However, he remained a part-time doctor at the Le Mans public hospital, in the Abortion and Contraception clinic until 2008.
His practice as a women's health physician lasted for 25 years.
Many of his books were based on his experience as a medical practitioner.
In 2009 he immigrated to Montreal, Quebec where he first worked as a guest researcher at the Centre de Recherches en éthique de l'Université de Montréal (CREUM), on a research project about the training of medical personnel.
He became a Canadian citizen in 2019.
Several of his books address the French medical culture and describe it as "archaic, violent and sexist and based on abuse of power".
Most of his novels and essays address patient rights, the right to accept or reject treatments, power struggles between physicians and patients, and women's health.
