''The Divine Child'' ((フランス語:Le Divin enfant)) is a 1992 novel by the French writer Pascal Bruckner. It tells the story of a boy who is educated while still in his mother's uterus and ends up refusing to be born; he struggles with his mother and with God and eventually becomes a celebrity while still unborn. The book was published in English in 1994, translated by Joachim Neugroschel. ==Reception== Stewart M. Lindh wrote in ''Los Angeles Times'': "What Pascal Bruckner, one of France's finest contemporary novelists, does in ''The Divine Child'' is to take us on a Candide-like journey into the world of neonatology". Lindh called the novel "no mere Gaelic version of ''Look Who's Talking'', but a fierce satire of science gone wild". ''Kirkus Reviews'' described the novel as "A would-be Rabelaisian novel from French writer Bruckner (''Evil Angels'', 1987), who has an interesting idea -- defy death by refusing to be born -- but smothers it with gratuitously explicit sex, grotesque physical details, and old-hat intellectualism. ... One of those too-clever novels where the writer is more intent on strutting his stuff than telling a convincing tale."
