Any books that read like a french New Wave or an italian Neo-Realist

The Stranger reads like a Godard movie to me for some reason but I'm sure you've read that

>tfw all these beautiful European cities are flooded with shit skins

Don't go to Europe boys, I was so fucking disappointed.

Le chants de Maldoror, maybe

This, Camus novels all could be shot in black and white with a dreary, listless musical score.

R-really, I'm super into European art films and I have the most perfect image of Europe in my mind. If I go, will my whole life be shattered?

>>8434164
so.... not godard

well op Pynchon reads an awful lot like Rivette thematically but none of the french new wave feel

try cortazar's Hopscotch, about a bunch of cafe pseuds in 50s paris

Eastern europe is still okay, otherwise yes

>>8434182
Which city do you want to see? Warsaw was still amazing, Paris looked like Africa

Read the novel Jules et Jim was built on.

Original guy that posted, I can imagine Stranger shot in the style of Breathless, am I alone in that?

>>8434213
godard's fast fun youthful handheld camerawork jarring edits and improvisational acting is as far from camus as it could be
it's also a dumb idea considering bresson is such an obvious fit

Tell me there's less cuckoldry.

I doubt it. Don't let it trigger you too much anon.

Havent read Maldoror yet. I always imagined it to be a kind of (capital "r") Romantic novel. I'll look into it.

I've already read these.

I was thinking of something along the lines of Queneau, Butor (La modification is one of my favourite novels) or Perec without the Oulipo baggage.

Also, I've already read Robbe-Grillet, and he gets pretty close, but he seems too sterile, too analytical.

Although there is some influences from romantic poetry and symbolist poetry (French final form of romanticism), Les chants is some kind of border. It had a huge influence on French Surealism, and if you except some sort of novel with romantic theme you may be disapointed. It's a poem, a long ass nonsensical poem in "prose". Sometimes it's disgusting, sometimes it's beautiful, sometimes it's both. It's the raw feelings of a (maybe insane) angsty teenager put on a sheet of paper. It's still worth reading, but i don't think it's what you except it to be.
