GARY WON '75 GONCOURT UNDER PSEUDONYM 'AJAR'
1981
Overview
In a memoir just published, ''L'homme que l'on croyait,'' Mr. [Paul Pavlowitch] says that Mr. Gary asked him to pose as the writer, not only of the 1975 book, ''La Vie Devant Soi,'' but of three other novels as well. ''La Vie Devant Soi'' was published in England and the United States as ''Momo,'' which was also the name of a film based on the book. It starred Simone Signoret. According to Mr. Pavlowitch, Mr. Gary told him in 1972 that he planned to write other books under another name because ''he no longer had the freedom he needed.'' Mr. Pavlowitch does not explain the quotation. In December 1973, Mr. Gary finished ''Gros Calin,'' the first novel by ''[Emile Ajar].'' It was modestly successful. In 1975, ''La Vie Devant Soi'' appeared and soon won the Prix Goncourt for fiction.
