Is he France's greatest living novelist? Is there any other

I've never read Hoolbeque, but he looks exactly like my mother.

>>9417751
he's not that good

I hope your father looks like Keanu Reeves or Justin Bieber, cuz otherwise your aesthetic potential seems grim.

Submission and Possibilities of an Island do well in capturing the zeitgeist and crisis of western society, wherein absolute small l liberalism is simply too weak to deal with competing forces, and the right is so abhorrent in its anti-intellectualism and prejudices as to not provide an answer to the everyman who lacks any reason to get up in the morning.

If you dont mind getting triggered, Paul Beatty's The Sellout is funny and somewhat iconoclastic Black Lit, Chirbes On the Edge illustrates the pathetic death of the european boomer population, and Ishiguro knocks it out of the park every book he writes, especially The Buried Giant as of late.

I've been meaning to read him for a while now, where do I start?

"Atomised" if you want his best.
"Whatever" if you want his shortest yet still good.

A writer who writes about politics is never a good writer.

Dumbest post I've seen today.

he's just a meme like any other writer praised by /lit/

very good, of course, but a meme

>>9417979
I think you need to turn off the internet, if you just see memes everywhere

I love Ishiguro more than most, but he doesn't always knock it out of the park. Nocturnes was meh, and When We Were Orphans was a misfire that even Kazuo admits didn't work.

What's with the shit title translations in English?

Low hanging fruit.

That's just britfags and their autism. Americans got The Elementary Particles as it should be.

>>9417751
I refuse to believe so

Roubaud, Toussaint, Enard, arguably
