His work is composed of essays and autobiographical writings , he coined the term autofiction ( French ego-fiction ). In 1989 he received the Prix ​​Médicis for the novel Le Livre brisé , in which he addressed his own marital problems and described his wife Ilse as depressed and alcoholic. When Ilse Doubrovsky committed suicide, the book's publication provoked "one of those mini scandals that the literary world is addicted to".
