Are there any good novels about the life in a European city?

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 27 16:17:37 2019 No.13539379 >>13539343 pretty much anything from Zola, Flaubert or Balzac. Large realist novels interconnected with each other over a large period of time, with a sea of characters . Sentimental Education (Flaubert), Lost illusions (Balzac) are also in Paris.

Probably half of European literature written between 1810 and 1950 but notoriously Dubliners is about, you know, people living in Dublin. Also Perec's Life: A User's Manual is a very detailed account of the daily life of an appartment building in Paris.

Nausea by jean-paul sartre, if you're looking for that lonely-despite-being-in-a-city type of feel. Drifting... aimlessly...
