Re: French Literature
Has i'm reading Requiem from the east the segond part reminded me of a French writer i like name Patrick Rambaud (this time i checked born in Paris) he use to work for actuel a French magazine and wrote about 20 novels,some of them parodies of the work of Roland Barthes,Simone de Beauvoir.
The ones i read end loved are the Napoleonic war la bataille(prix goncourt) et Il neigeait both translated in English.As the batalle,and the retreat followed by the exil.
The style and writing have nothing cheap or pompous like historical fiction often does.
I was wandering if any of you knows about him.
