Biography
Jean Reverzy (1914–1959) is a French general practitioner from Lyon who won the Prix Renaudot in 1954 for Le Passage ("The Passage"), his first novel. It described the slow anguish of a patient with liver problems who returned with a tired wahine (woman) 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 ("Agony Square"), describes through the eyes of a young doctor the ominous, oppressive atmosphere of Lyon's Bellecour - the city's medical quarter.
