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 261 Views
Only her SF has been translated into English so far. - 14/05/2010 09:24:19 PM 688 Views
It has to be rather annoying when that happens, translations ending halfway. - 14/05/2010 09:45:00 PM 709 Views
Or, you could read it and tell me what happens. - 14/05/2010 09:51:21 PM 700 Views
I'd tell you but I don't really remember... - 16/05/2010 12:02:26 AM 588 Views
As Dom argues in Larry's link, there isn't really that much. - 14/05/2010 08:43:06 PM 646 Views
Drat. Curse the linguistic dominance of my native tongue! - 14/05/2010 09:17:32 PM 613 Views
Uh, not really, it's set in the 20th century. - 14/05/2010 09:40:34 PM 584 Views
Sounds interesting. I'll keep it in mind. - 14/05/2010 10:03:03 PM 648 Views

Well, I know of no such. - 15/05/2010 09:40:12 PM 608 Views
Know what's pathetic? I forgot about Jules. - 16/05/2010 06:06:41 AM 602 Views
While you're reading 19th century (semi-)spec-fic books... - 16/05/2010 10:51:20 AM 587 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 683 Views
You know him? Impressive. - 17/05/2010 10:12:20 AM 605 Views
I've heard of it before, but I haven't read it. - 17/05/2010 06:42:54 PM 597 Views
