10 Writers Who Died Too Soon

1. Radiguet Raymond


Radiguet Raymond was a French writer who published two famous novels. The Devil in the Flesh (Le Diable au Corps) depicts a story of a married young woman who has an extra-marital affair with 16 years old boy, while her husband fought in the Great War. It sparked a controversy as France was still recovering from the bloody, traumatic First World War.
His second novel also deals with adultery; titled Le bal du Comte d’Orgel, it was posthumously published a year after his death. He also wrote a play and a few volumes of poetry. Raymond died of typhoid fever after returning from a trip. He was 20.
