Recs if you like The Flowers of Evil...

Poetry is an art form that can be used to interact with a lot of themes - my favorites are when dark topics or the horror genre itself come into the mix.

My attempt at a french lit starter pack. I'm doing this with the goal of mixing up the genres each time, so that you can get a feel of the whole range of things french lit has to offer. Might move stuff around as I go, as I plan on making this a series, taking the side quests starter packs as inspiration.

This first one is a bit on the classics side.

a non-exhaustive collection of works

This list comprises numerous French classics, from romantic epics, to realist critiques of society, to philosophical fiction, to scandalous stories, poetry, & more! I’ll be updating it sporadically.

A collection of acclaimed classic and contemporary Francophone literature. I chose to classify as Francophone rather than French in order to include authors who wrote in French but were/are not of French nationality, especially authors from colonised countries. Non-exhaustive as I'm not an expert I am keeping this list to one book per author but suggestions very welcome! :)

scary poems that will stick with you.

Every book or author mentioned in Ruth Ozeki’s “A Tale for the Time Being” in one convenient place

A list to deepen one’s understanding of cross-literary conversation from a 21st century author.

I created this list in the spirit of one of the central themes of the novel, that being that literature is a conversation through space and time. Writing is a kind of time travel, if only just to the future, and reading is one to the past.

Books mentioned or quoted in The Secret History and books mentioned by donna tartt

As said in the name, this is a list to long (a bit boring) and old french literature that I would consider good books (because frenchies don't lack of those )

This is a list of books from the XIX c. (and before). Some books are just 150 pages long because they are plays

(Feel free to tell me if you want me to add books to the list, I will be adding some myself as I can't think about every book right now...)
