Re: French Literature
The problem with French literature in translation is that even though it's more translated than other languages, it sadly doesn't mean the really worthy writers are being translated. You get Houellebecq, Zeller and, god forbid, Nothomb. At least Echenoz is also available to you guys, and a Salvayre or two. But where are the best of people writing today? Where are Chevillard, Cadiot, Claro, Senges, Volodine? All those guys are great stylists and create worlds of their own. It would be nice if they could be read in more languages.
