*Le commanditaire* is a French-language literary work associated with Emmanuel Hocquard and Valéry, published by P.O.L in 1993. Its title can suggest a client, sponsor, commissioner, or instigator, and that ambiguity gives the record a strong conceptual focus even where the surviving catalog data is sparse. The available edition points to a late twentieth-century French literary context, one often open to experimental prose, poetic forms, and questions of authorship, authority, and responsibility. Rather than presenting a clearly documented genre plot, the work is best approached as a contemporary French text in which language, attribution, and the act of commissioning or initiating a work may be central. The limited metadata leaves its precise structure and contents open, but the bibliographic details support treating it as a legitimate book-length literary publication.
