A French-language work of contemporary fiction by Emmanuel Loi, *La vie périmée* was published in 2000 as a 137-page paperback by Éditions 1. The available catalog record identifies it as a literary novel rather than a periodical, report, or reference work, though no plot summary is included in the supplied metadata. The title suggests a reflective or critical engagement with modern experience, but the surviving bibliographic information is limited to publication details and the author attribution. This record is useful primarily as a catalog entry for the standalone French novel and its 2000 edition, which carries the ISBNs 2846120021 and 9782846120029.
