Can I get recommendations on French short stories? I would prefer stories with simple syntax and diction, as I am still getting the hang of French.
Also, share your favorite modernist artists and modernist writers. Pic related, obviously.

Yeah you can try Maupassan or Voltairet. If you rather stick to 20th century, I love Marcel Aymé, try the short stories collected in "the passer-through-walls", they're slightly fantastic and weird but with a very pure prose and a realistic background.

I only just thought about it - why not Planet of the Apes ? It's a decently short novel, with quite a simple syntax if I remember. The kind of stuff that kids can read whren they're 15 or so. Yet thre guy's a good writer , and obviously the story is part of common culture now.
