Raymond Radiguet lived a mere 20 years, from 1903 to 1923. He is noted for his short 1923 novel Le Diable au corps (translated as The Devil in the Flesh), and his second, Le bal du Comte d'Orgel, was published the year after his death.
Due to his youth, comparisons have been made with Rimbaud and Sagan, and much more recently with the 19-year-old Marien Defalvard, whose first novel Du temps qu'on existait was published last month and the maturity of his writing greeted with some amazement.

But returning to Radiguet, this plaque was not easy to photo: it's very shiny and the sun was directly on it, so my silhouette is reflected in it.
