humbly asking for some french lit recommendations for my first trip to paris. will be reading at cafes and on transit, so nothing too hard to jump in and out of, ideally. really haven't read much from france besides candide, the lover, les mis, and some camus
Tailored for Paris: Raymond Queneau, Zazie Marcel Aymé, The Man Who Walked through Walls (short stories) Marcel Aymé, Across Paris (short stories)
Will you be reading in French or English?
you might like Inseparable by Simone de Beauvoir. it's one of my favorites of her fiction works and is relatively short
well since you are on vacation, Against Nature by Huysmans (i really need to make book tagging in comments)
i also recommend this book, but i recommend against reading it on vacation. maybe père goriot instead?
Georges Perec is my favorite Paris interlocutor. He dances with the city.
