A dilettante student, he changed majors every year, and studied law, psychology, linguistics, philosophy, sociology, art history and anthropology. He wrote an essay about rain, and prefaces for the French translations of Oscar Wilde’s The Soul of Man Under Socialism and Pen, Pencil and Poison, Horst Hamann’s Paris Vertical, as well as for Balzac’s Traité des excitants modernes. His novels have been translated in a dozen languages. He also writes for children (I am an earthquake, Conversation with a chocolate cake…).
