Does /lit/ like French lit?

SHE DIED HUGGING HER CHILDREN? WHAT MOTLEY ASSEMBLAGE OF SOAP OPERA BULLSHIT WAS THIS NOVEL? AND LET US NOT FORGET THE PREGNANT WOMAN HOBBLING ABOUT WITH A FUCKING HEAD.

I would love to know French so I could read Auguste Villiers de l'Isle-Adam and Erckmann-Chatrian.

The Stranger and Journey to the End of the Night get a lot of threads. Stendhal and Balzac a bit less but still occasional. Monte Cristo was pretty comfy. A lot of interest in Rimbaud's boipussi here

>>9745347
It is discussed quite a lot:
>Proust
>Camus
>Houellebecq
>Foucault

There is always a thread or two where one of these guys is being discussed. French literature is great, but the French are insufferable.

>but the French are insufferable.
What do you mean exactly?

>>9745436
Prose or poetry?

Saint-John Perse, Giono, Montherlant, Valéry, Gide, Mauriac, Perec, Céline, Péguy, Verhaeren, Bernanos, Claudel, Segalen, Apollinaire, Duras, Proust, Char, Robbe-Grillet.

Lis plus.

this is true
>>9746762
most of them have either an inferior complex, or a superiority complex, or some mixture of both/other ones that make them an absolute chore to talk with

What are good books for learning French? Vocab and verb endings seem easy enough but I find grammar difficult.

balzac, flaubert, yourcenar, the list could go on

Just yesterday bought Le Rouge et Le Noir from a cute Parisian bookshop. Mainly bought it because Macron had it open on his desk for his official presidential portrait and I want to know what he meant by this.

>>9746616
>>>>>>nouveau roman

Biggest joke ever lmao

>Robbe-Grillet regarded many earlier novelists as old-fashioned in their focus on plot, action, narrative, ideas, and character. Instead, he put forward a theory of the novel as focused on objects: the ideal nouveau roman would be an individual version and vision of things, subordinating plot and character to the details of the world rather than enlisting the world in their service.

"we can't compete or even write something as good as the old novels, fuck it i have a new idea which is completely autistic, old novels suck lul" - definition of Nouveau Roman.

>Vocab and verb endings seem easy enough but I find grammar difficult.
Have you tried learning a language before? French grammar is so similar to English grammar it almost feels like one is cheating when learning it.

>>9747262
>Who is the French Shakespeare
Racine and Molière.

french not jewish

>>9747323
French is a cultural signifier, not an ethnic one. Proust is French.

>>9747421
No, French is an ethnicity and Proust is a jew.

So many idiots on this site.
