          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]
