«Coda» is the suspense novel by René Belletto, published by P.O.L in paperback (125 pages, in French).
It is a suspense story with fantastical elements: the narrator-protagonist delves into words until he becomes them, blurring the boundary between life and book. A transparent prose gradually absorbs the reader and makes him disappear into the text too, in an anguishing spiral where the challenge is the existence of the one who reads.
Coda was published on 3 March 2005 and the sentence that opens the book, used as an initial epigraph, is also the last of the story, which closes upon itself.
For readers with a command of French seeking a short tale of fantastical suspense and metafictional games between life and the book.
René Belletto is a French writer, and winner of the Prix Femina, 1986, for L'Enfer.
