Bon livres de France.
Salut. My name is Brayden and I am also interested in French literature. I already read Voltaire, Satre and Saint-Exupery. I wanted to know of some other good French writers that we might not hear of in English speaking countries.

Re:Bon livres de France.
It seems you like authors criticizing the society.
If you like the theatre from sartre you should read Anouihl with antigone he asked the same kind of questions in a greec story style, I prefere "La sauvage" from the same writer. The wife of sartre De Beauvoir is also interesting and Albert Camus has the same modern vision.
If you want something more easy and maybe more funny try Boris Vian, René Barjavel for science fiction, Daniel Pennac with "La fée carabine".
If you have a question or just want to discuss about french literature don't hesitate to write to me.

Re:Re:Bon livres de France.
hi
i'm really amazed there is someone here who likes camus ,sarte and vian!!
they are indeed really excellent .but vian is really agressive.
his books are influenced by his life.
and he had some really hard times in the end .
i don't remember the titles but it's a some letters or poem
and he say that he'll write some stupid things and that everybody will be amazed.
i really like him.
but sartre is my favourite one "huis clos "is my favourite book.
