  Romain Gary et la vie devant soi
Avec Ajar, Gary se donne un masque avec un faux nom, jeu littéraire qui est en l'occurrence moins un camouflage qu'une réincarnation.
La marionnette qu'il a choisie pour interpréter Ajar, révèle un talent authentique de comédien, il mime admirablement un écrivain génial, il a le sens de la phrase et de la repartie, il sait cultiver son propre mystère.
Emile Ajar c'est Gary expulsant son angoisse de vieillir, une perspective qui le rend malade et pas seulement au sens figuré.

 Tirvengadum: Linguistic Fingerprints and Literary Fraud
His first Ajar novel, Gros-Câlin, immediately attracted the attention of critics and readers alike and became a best-seller, while new novels published under the Gary name were not as successful.
This implies, in the first place, that it is impossible to disguise one's style and, in the second place, that works written under a pseudonym should contain the genetic fingerprint of the writer.
Moreover, these additional four novels were chosen because they are of similar lengths to the Gary and Ajar books, they belong to the same genre and, in all of them (as in the Gary and Ajar novels), the narrator is intradiegetic.

Gary’s youth held all the elements required to justify his maturity and decline, his willingness to emerge and his fear of being forgotten, his eagerness to amaze and his boredom in pursuing success.
He invented a new name, Emile Ajar, he provided this name with an identity, that of his nephew, and wrote a novel, La vie devant soi.
In Vie et mort d’Emil Ajar, his literary testament, Gary claimed that a good critic should have been able to detect that Ajar was himself, since too many traces recalled the original.

 JOYCE CAROL OATES: LAUREN KELLY
It may be that, after a certain age, our instinct for anonymity is as powerful as that for identity; or, more precisely, for an erasure of the primary self in that another (hitherto undiscovered?) self may be released.
Romain Gary, writing as the unknown "Emile Ajar," is no longer writing as Gary, but as Gary-through-"Ajar"; the Danish noblewoman, Baroness Karen Blixen, choosing "Isak Dinesen" ("Isak": one who laughs) as a pseudonym, is writing as Blixen-through-"Isak Dinesen," thereby evoking an ancestral, magisterial, and certainly unfeminine self.
(Romain Gary compared his "doubling" with "Ajar" in terms of Macpherson's with "Ossian.") When the now-famous Karen Blixen/"Isak Dinesen" published a parablelike novel called The Angelic Avengers in 1944 under the pseudonym "Pierre Andrezel," she arranged for her longtime secretary-companion Clara Svendsen to be named on the title page as the translator.

We asked designer Emile Ajar to draw a small boat in that style but for stitch and glue.
In such a small boat, it is impossible to fit decent size bunks in the cabin that is already furnished with a galley, steering station and an enclosed head but why not take advantage of the very large cockpit covered with canvas and turn it into a roomy cabin when on anchor?

 Romain Gary - Introduction
Il a poussé l’art du prestidigitateur jusqu’à se donner secrètement un double, cet Emile Ajar que couronne un prix Goncourt, faisant de Gary le seul écrivain à avoir deux fois reçu cette récompense sous des noms différents.
Dans Vie et mort d’Emile Ajar le romancier s’explique sur sa " nostalgie de la jeunesse, du début, du premier livre, du recommencement ", son angoisse existentielle face à l’enfermement dans un personnage, son désir d’échapper à soi-même et son malin plaisir d’avoir joué un bon tour au " parisianisme " honni.
