11 Must-Read Modern French Books

it's really good i don't really know what the ultimate point of it was but i certainly enjoyed the journey that he goes on and it really is a tiny little pamphlet of a book and i really recommend it's really charming

an apartment on uranus is absolutely worth checking out if you haven't yeah read this it's great

this is a hundred page novel that you can read in an afternoon and it hits you really hard it's very anti-war it's very anti-racism and it's also very anti-toxic masculinity

it's fantastic it's really hard hitting it's really smart i've never seen a novel tackle class in this way before and also the setting the characters the story the journey all of it is absolutely beautiful

i really enjoyed this it is twee charming sweet it's very agatha christie that is the best way to sell it but what i really liked about it beyond the christineness of it is that it's set in a publishing house in paris

the length is something i really enjoyed because it means that there's no filler there's no padding there's no slowing down this is a book that is a joy to read from beginning to end

it's written like a very surreal and strange piece of fiction that moves back and forth over the course of a two-year period around 2002-2003 and i really enjoyed

so this is a simple story we've seen it before we've seen this kind of a relationship between a person and their parent before it's not new but it definitely still tugs at your heartstrings what also tugs at your heartstrings is how beautifully kyoto itself is depicted

this is one of my favorite modern french novels and it is the collection by nina legere translated by laura francis i love this book

this is a very feminist novel that succeeds and doesn't succeed in equal parts for me and the biggest reason that it doesn't really succeed is the ending which i'm not going to talk about but the ending is very rushed and i feel like it had a theme that it was developing very obviously and a point that it was leading to and then it just kind of bleh just dies at the end i guess so apart from the rushed ending this is a really great book
