Will O' the Wisp (novel)
''Will O' the Wisp'' ((フランス語:Le feu follet)) is a 1931 novel by the French writer Pierre Drieu La Rochelle. It has also been published in English as ''The Fire Within''. It tells the story of a 30-year-old man who after military service followed by a few years in international jet-set life has become burned out, addicted to heroin and tired of living. The author's source of inspiration for the main character was the surrealist poet Jacques Rigaut (1898–1929).
The novel has been the basis for two feature films, Louis Malle's ''The Fire Within'' from 1963 and Joachim Trier's ''Oslo, August 31st'' from 2011.
==Plot==
Alain Leroy is 30 years old. He has served in World War I and taken part in international jet-set life for a few years, before being admitted to a mental institution for depression, fatigue and heroin addiction. He is unable to adapt to the regulated life of the institution, but the doctor does not think his stay needs to be extended.
Alain visits several old friends in Paris. He is presented with several opportunities to return to a regular life, but is unable to find any satisfying human connection, and other people have a hard time to sympathise with his situation. Alain returns to his room at the hospital where he commits suicide.
