«Le diable est un pur hasard» is the collection of short stories by René de Ceccatty published by Mercure de France in 1993 (paperback, 288 pages, in French).
The author brings together first-person stories about unsettling coincidences that have acted on the narrator's life. As he warns on the back cover, this «I» should not be identified with him, and although the stories are based on real facts, people and places, they do not claim to be testimonies, analyses or autobiographical fragments.
The paperback edition weighs about 260 g and measures 11.8 x 18.5 cm; the cover, with a light blue background, shows the year MCMXCIII.
Aimed at a general audience interested in French fiction and in short, reflective texts.
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.
