how difficult is it to read proust in french?

>>8051168
it probably depends on whether you can read french or not

Even for a french native Proust can get challenging. You better know what you're doing op.

t. anon that heard about this somewhere but never actually read proust

I suggest reading some late era Colette and consider if you're comfy with that or not. If not, read the rest of the european canon.

For a native speaker, all the challenge is in not getting bored. Understanding sentence structures, meaning keeping track of the clauses, only requires a sort of concentration well within the reach of any casual reader.

what's the best beginner level french writers? (excluding camus and sartre)

Beckett

>>8051459
Certainly not late Beckett, but Molloy or Godot should be all right

Tu te trompes mon vieux, royalement.

Je suis d'accord , ne pas regarder un cheval de cadeau dans la bouche .

i have an edition with split french and english on each page.

>>8051168
just do like me : read the last page, or last chapter of the book and you will understand that it is not worth it.
