'Beautiful and deep ... a sumptuous treat for any book lover' The
Independent 'Food for short story lovers everywhere' Irish Times *A
major celebration of the French short story and Spectator Book of
the Year* The short story has a rich tradition in French
literature. This feast of an anthology celebrates its most famous
practitioners, as well as newly translated writers ready for
rediscovery. The second volume takes the reader through the
tumultuous twentieth century in the company of writers including
Simone de Beauvoir and Maryse Condé, Patrick Modiano and Virginie
Despentes, covering world wars, revolutions, and the horrors of the
motorway service station. Along the way we meet electronic brains,
she-wolves, a sadistic Cinderella, ancestors, infidels,
dissatisfied housewives and lonely ambassadors, all clamouring to
be heard. Funny, devastating and fresh at every turn, this is the
place to start for lovers of French literature, new and old. Edited
and with an introduction by Patrick McGuinness, academic, writer
and translator.
