«Je suis écrivain» is the novel by François Weyergans, published by Gallimard in paperback (179 pages, in French).
The narrator, a writer who cannot sleep, spends his nights typing; instead of resting, he entertains himself with the image of an owl cut from a book that keeps him company until dawn. The novel portrays the night life of one who prefers literary creation to sleep and turns insomnia into narrative material.
It belongs to the Folio collection. The work was originally published in 1989; the present edition is from 1991.
For readers of contemporary French fiction interested in the craft of writing and the inner life of an insomniac.
François Weyergans was a Belgian writer and director. His father, Franz Weyergans, was a Belgian and also a writer, while his mother was from Avignon in France. François Weyergans was elected to the Académie française on 26 March 2009, taking the 32nd seat which became vacant with the death of Alain Robbe-Grillet in 2008.
