Radiguet rubbed shoulders with the hippest of the Modernist crowd, including Picasso, Hemingway and Jean Cocteau. He might have eventually become as famous as these guys if he’d lived past age 20, but he left behind a surprisingly substantial body of work that included two novels and some poems. “Le diable au corps,”which takes place against the ba...
Colette was a novelist known for her vivid depictions of love and sensuality. Oddly enough, her earliest work was written under the watchful eye of her jerk husband, who would lock her in a room to force the creative process and take credit for her novels himself. Thankfully, she walked out on him and became hugely successful under her own name. “C...
A man takes a room in a boarding house and discovers that through a hole in the wall he can see everything that’s happening in the adjoining room. Thus begins a voyeuristic journey of discovery for the protagonist of Barbusse’s novel. Far from a purely titillating account of lovers’ encounters and private moments, “L’Enfer”is a philosophical explor...
In a tortured but captivating voice—reminiscent of the characters of Gogol and Dostoyevsky—Duhamel’s hero, Salavin, recounts how he was fired from his job under extremely odd circumstances and how this marked a major change in his life. Salavin’s penchant for rich detail and his willingness to reveal personal quirks make him entertaining in the man...
You’ll immediately recognize the title of Leroux’s most famous work, “Le Fantôme de l’Opéra,”but he’s also known for having written one of the first “locked-room” mysteries. “Le mystère de la chambre jaune”follows Joseph Rouletabille, a reporter investigating an attempt on the life of a famous scientist’s daughter. The police are baffled, as the as...
“Ourika”tells the story of a Senegalese woman who’s raised in the household of a French duchess. She’s treated as one of the family, and is at first unaware of the inferior status her race gives her in the eyes of others. “Ourika”both calls attention to race and gender divisions and explores the effect these divisions have on the individual mind. T...
“Le Grand Meaulnes”is the only novel by the writer Alain-Fournier, but it’s a heck of a novel. It follows the lives of two boys who meet as teenagers in a country town and become friends. One of them goes off on his own one day, gets lost and stumbles upon a strange place where he meets the girl of his dreams. “Le Grand Meaulnes”is a simply written...
An example of early French science fiction that pushed the envelope beyond the writing of Jules Verne, “Le Prisonnier de la planète mars”chronicles the travels of a young engineer to the mysterious red planet. In this wildly imaginative work, Le Rouge creates what I bet will prove to be the most bizarre fictionalized version of Mars you’ve ever enc...
While Roussel is considered something of a cult taste, he holds a highly influential place in 20thcentury literature for his playful experiments with the writing process. “Locus Solus,”created from one such experiment, centers on a wealthy man showing his friends a series of bizarre inventions and curiosities he has collected on his estate. Roussel...
