Where did you take this course

I almost exclusively read French literature and I've never read a French book written in the 21st century. I have no idea where to start. I guess I'll try reading the Goncourt winner this year but I'm afraid it might be shit.

And that's a legitimate fear. I'd advise you to start with some of the current authors of Les Éditions de Minuit, like Jean Echenoz or Jean-Philippe Toussaint.

did you follow through or not?
