«L'hôpital: Une hostobiographie» is the autobiographical account by Alphonse Boudard, published by La Table Ronde in paperback (368 pages, in French).
The author recalls his long stay in a hospital, where he nearly died, and admits that the place has never stopped haunting him. Between fear and fascination, he describes the entrance, the gate, and the men he saw die there: young and old, drunk or sober, until confessing that the hospital becomes the image of death itself.
The work originally appeared in 1972; the present French edition is from 2020. The subtitle «Une hostobiographie» fuses «hôpital» and «autobiographie».
For readers of French literature and autobiographical narratives exploring illness and memory.
