«L'homme dans le rétroviseur» is the novel by Jean Cayrol, published by Seuil in paperback (213 pages, in French).
The title refers to a man seen through the rear-view mirror, an image that articulates a narrative set in Paris. The story advances from that perspective to explore the characters' inner lives, with the reflective and restrained tone characteristic of Cayrol's writing.
Originally published in 1981, this edition belongs to the Cadre rouge collection in Seuil's catalogue; the author is listed on the cover as a member of the Académie Goncourt.
Jean Cayrol was a French poet, publisher, and member of the Académie Goncourt born in Bordeaux. He is perhaps best known for writing the narration in Alain Resnais's 1956 documentary film, Night and Fog. He was a major contributor to the subversive, philosophical French publication Tel Quel.
