Alexandre Dumas and Edmond and Rostand.

I also enjoy some of the essays of Montaigne and some of the writings of the Marquis de Sade.

Currently easing my way into Balzac via the fantastic end of his oeuvre.

>> No.573414

Zola, Celine, Deleuze, Sartre,Camus,Rimbaud, Lautreamont, DeSade...that's all I can think of and I like each of them yet I don't read French. So, I suppose you could say I have no idea but whatthefuckever

>> No.573426

as a french I think there's a lot of boring stuff such as Céline Flaubert or Maupassant but Hugo or Zola are genious.

Have one of you ever read Germinal ?

>> No.573429

Studied French lit for a semester in college. There's a lot of good stuff.

Love classics like Le Petit Prince, Madame Bovary, and L'Etranger.

I also liked the play Les Bonnes by Genet, a lot of stuff Sartre wrote, as well as some poetry by Baudelaire and Rimbaud.

Yeah L'Etranger must be one of the greatest book ever.

Je l'ai lu, c'est loin d'être le plus intéressant des Rougon-Maquart imo.

Céline est tout sauf ennuyant.
