French Literature

[close] First of all, why such a group name? It's all about personal preference and literary taste. Literature lovers living in Toronto may meet and form friendships through this group. This group, like everything else, will change form after a while, it would be deleted or perhaps destroyed.

[close] A place for fans of the decadents, the surrealists, the symbolists, the expats, the occultists, the aesthetes, and spooky folks.

[close] This group explores European literature in translation (i.e. it generally excludes works originally written in English, but we are bound to wander at times). The group will use CounterPunch's list of "The best 100 novels in translation since 1900" as a foundation for traversing the realm of European literature. Every two months we will read a novel originating from the list. In the months in between we will read vintage works. At times we will also read works originating from other parts of the world to gain perspective. We will occasionally include poems, biographies and other nonfiction works to enhance our reading experience.
