Who was Jean Reverzy?
Jean Reverzy is a French general practitioner from Lyon who won the Prix Renaudot in 1954 for Le Passage, his first novel. It described the slow anguish of a patient with liver problems who returned with a tired wahine of Polynesia. It is a description of the passage from life to death, in a raw and realistic manner, including poetic nostalgia.
Another work, Place des angoisses, describes through the eyes of a young doctor the ominous, oppressive atmosphere of Lyon's Bellecour - the city's medical quarter.
