«Si j'étais vous...» is the fiction novel by Julien Green, published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback (248 pages, in French).
Fabien can embody other people and live their lives, body and soul. On his journey he encounters beauty, intelligence and wealth, but also the weight of others' destinies; his power denies him innocence. It is a tale about the dissatisfaction of the individual trapped in a destiny, in the wake of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
French edition in the biblio collection of Le Livre de Poche, published on October 18, 1995.
For readers interested in the classic French novel and in plots of metamorphosis and identity.
Julien Green, often Julian Green, was an American writer who lived most of his life in France and wrote mostly in French and only occasionally in English. Over a long and prolific career, he authored novels and essays, several plays, and a biography of Francis of Assisi, produced a four-volume autobiography, and for decades maintained a daily journal that he edited and published in nineteen volumes. The posthumous publication of the unexpurgated text of his journals presented a different version of his personality and sexuality, revealed details of the lives of many of his prominent contemporaries, and documented the gay subculture of 20th-century France.
