Excerpt: Benjamin Fondane (French pronunciation: ) or Benjamin Fundoianu (Romanian pronunciation: ; born Benjamin Wechsler, Wexler or Vecsler, first name also Beniamin or Barbu, usually abridged to B.; November 14, 1898 - October 2, 1944) was a Romanian and French poet, critic and existentialist philosopher, also noted for his work in film and theater.

During and after World War I, he was active as a cultural critic, avant-garde promoter and, with his brother-in-law Armand Pascal, manager of the theatrical troupe Insula.
