«Créatures d'un jour» is the short story collection by psychiatrist and writer Irvin D. Yalom, published by Editions Galaade in paperback (208 pages, in French).
Yalom brings together several stories from his practice: a dancer who longs for La Scala, a writer still searching for himself, a young man who escapes the fear of death through an intense sexual life, and a nurse who only knows how to care for others; all seek relief, recognition, or meaning, and the author turns their stories into a reflection on the brevity of life.
Originally published as «Creatures of a Day: And Other Tales of Psychotherapy», in a French translation by Sylvette Gleize.
For those interested in psychology and existentialism: mental health professionals or general readers seeking a human perspective on therapy.
Irvin David Yalom is an American existential psychiatrist who is an emeritus professor of psychiatry at Stanford University, as well as author of both fiction and nonfiction.
