Jean-Pierre Boulé

Taking a panoramic approach to the oeuvre of a major French writer who died of AIDS in 1991, and treating his post-diagnosis work separately, Boule (French studies, Nottingham Trent U.) concludes that Guilbert created a new literary genre, the roman faux, with the publication of his 17th book: To the Friend who did not save my life (1990)--scandalous due to its alleged portrayal of philosopher Michel Foucault's dying of AIDS.
