«Corps étranger» is the novel by Didier van Cauwelaert published by Albin Michel in 1998 in paperback (427 pages, in French).
As a young man, Frédéric published a novel under the pseudonym Richard Glen; he then gave up writing and found success in Paris. More than twenty years later, a student from Bruges writes to that forgotten author. The letter awakens Richard Glen, an invented identity that offers him another life, and with it the question of how long two personalities can coexist in a single body.
The cover subtitle is «roman». The author received the 1994 Prix Goncourt for Un aller simple.
For readers of contemporary French fiction interested in stories of identity, imposture and second chances.
Didier Van Cauwelaert is a French author and director of Belgian descent who was born in Nice. In 1994 his novel Un Aller simple won the Prix Goncourt.
