Raymond Radiguet
French novelist and poet
Raymond Radiguet (French pronunciation:[ʁɛmɔ̃ʁadiɡɛ]; 18 June 1903 – 12 December 1923) was a French novelist and poet whose two novels were noted for their explicit themes, and unique style and tone.[1]
Early life
Radiguet was born in Saint-Maur, Val-de-Marne, close to Paris, the son of a caricaturist.
In 1917, he moved to the city. Soon he would drop out of the Lycée Charlemagne, where he studied, in order to pursue his interests in journalism and literature.[2]
Career
In early 1923, Radiguet published his first and most famous novel, Le Diable au corps (The Devil in the Flesh).
The story of a young married woman who has an affair with a 16-year-old boy while her husband is away fighting at the front provoked scandal in a country that had just been through World War I.[3] Though Radiguet denied it, it was established later that the story was in large part autobiographical.[3]
