Looking for modern French fantasy. Fantasy that's written in French, that is. Francophone Fantasy. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 14/05/2010 08:15:05 PM
Whatever.

So here is what is up. I am trying to improve my French. I live in a city with a French name and no French discussion groups. This is unfortunate. I'm trying to find an interesting book to read to help me keep up some of my ability. Newspapers are nice, but I'd like something that's entertaining to read. So... any suggestions for fantasy/sci-fi that's in French?

Or, hell, anything that's good and in French. I'd like it to be latter 20th century, though, since I'll be reading older books in class anyway.

Merci!

Thanks. I think I'll check out Vonarburg. Looks interesting. *NM* - 14/05/2010 08:43:51 PM 206 Views
Only her SF has been translated into English so far. - 14/05/2010 09:24:19 PM 549 Views
It has to be rather annoying when that happens, translations ending halfway. - 14/05/2010 09:45:00 PM 573 Views
Or, you could read it and tell me what happens. - 14/05/2010 09:51:21 PM 569 Views
I'd tell you but I don't really remember... - 16/05/2010 12:02:26 AM 460 Views
As Dom argues in Larry's link, there isn't really that much. - 14/05/2010 08:43:06 PM 498 Views
Drat. Curse the linguistic dominance of my native tongue! - 14/05/2010 09:17:32 PM 468 Views
Uh, not really, it's set in the 20th century. - 14/05/2010 09:40:34 PM 452 Views
Sounds interesting. I'll keep it in mind. - 14/05/2010 10:03:03 PM 507 Views

Well, I know of no such. - 15/05/2010 09:40:12 PM 474 Views
Know what's pathetic? I forgot about Jules. - 16/05/2010 06:06:41 AM 471 Views
While you're reading 19th century (semi-)spec-fic books... - 16/05/2010 10:51:20 AM 454 Views
I read Leroux in English a while ago, so that's out. But yeah, Alix is good. - 17/05/2010 03:03:37 AM 543 Views
You know him? Impressive. - 17/05/2010 10:12:20 AM 478 Views
I've heard of it before, but I haven't read it. - 17/05/2010 06:42:54 PM 470 Views
