Hélène Bessette (31 August 1918 – 10 Oct 2000) was a French writer and playwright who wrote 13 books that were subsequently published by Gallimard. She had the backing of influential authors, poets and artists such as Raymond Queneau (her editor), Iris Murdoch, Michel Leiris, Nathalie Sarraute, Jean Dubuffet, Georges-Emmanuel Clancier, Claude Royet-Journoud, Bernard Noël, Simone de Beauvoir, Alain Bosquet, Claude Mauriac and Marguerite Duras.[1][2]
Fitzcarraldo Editions have republished Lili is Crying translated by Kate Briggs into English (2025) and will publish Twenty Minutes of Silence translated also by Kate Briggs in 2026. After 1976 when Raymond Queneau her editor died, Éditions Gallimard stopped publishing her works.
Her works have been translated from French into English, Spanish, Russian and Italian.
