«Lorsque j'étais une œuvre d'art» is the novel by Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt, published by Le Livre de Poche in paperback (252 pages, in French).
Jonathan, a jaded lawyer, is about to commit suicide when Delius offers him a deal: turn him into a living work of art, the sculpture Adam bis. Turned into a worldwide phenomenon, he discovers that success does not compensate for lost freedom and ends up rebelling against his creator. It is a reflection on identity and the limits of art.
The novel was originally published in 2002; this paperback edition from Le Livre de Poche dates from September 2004.
Recommended for readers of contemporary literary fiction seeking a novel of ideas about art, identity and freedom.
