«Fiction douce» is the novel by René de Ceccatty, published by Seuil in paperback (202 pages, in French).
A writer crosses paths with two elderly novelists, writes a play for a famous actress, and travels through South America while recalling a childhood and an impossible passion. He also meets a disturbing taxi driver and the disappearance of a friend. Everything unfolds in solitude, at the wheel and under the rain: a “fiction douce”, according to a Mexican mystic.
Published in Paris in 2002, it belongs to Seuil's Fiction & Cie collection. The cover indicates the subtitle “roman”.
René de Ceccatty is a French writer, translator and editor. He has written about 30 novels and biographies and translated works from Italian and Japanese. His 1994 work, Violette Leduc, éloge de la bâtarde provided a basis for Martin Provost's 2013 film Violette, for which de Ceccatty co-wrote the screen-play.
