Bio
Cyril took part in the organization of Clarté during 1919, advocating an international role for intellectuals after the war. Contemporary movement history identifies him as its provisional general secretary in May 1919. The passage quoted by L’Ordine Nuovo calls on intellectuals to expose misleading political language and become educators in revolutionary change. Bibliographical records also document his fiction, including the novel Mayotte.
