«Les Mille et Une Vies de Billy Milligan» is the non-fiction novel by Daniel Keyes, published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback (636 pages, in French).
When Ohio police arrest William Stanley Milligan as a suspect in several rapes, the young man denies the facts and his defence requests a psychiatric evaluation. The examination reveals that Milligan suffers from dissociative identity disorder and harbours twenty-four personalities of different ages, temperaments and even sexes, including Arthur, a refined Londoner, and Ragen, a violent Yugoslav. The account, based on a real case, reconstructs the legal and psychological process that turned Billy into an icon of forensic psychiatry.
Daniel Keyes was an American writer best known as the author of the novel Flowers for Algernon. Keyes was given the Author Emeritus honor by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America in 2000.
