Essential Francophone Lit: Classics & Contemporary
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! :)

Note: most of the editions will be the English ones, as PB is a predominantly English-language site, but some are the French, depending what was available on PB! I believe the founders are planning to merge editions, so should hopefully not be an issue in the future!
