French Fiction in the Mitterrand Years by Colin Davis
This title examines some of the most popular and some of the most challenging of texts which emerged during Francois Mitterrand's presidency of France and relate them to the dominant literary and cultural trends of the period.
In this welcome tome theory is put at the service of literature.. These individuated pieces are rich and satisfying. The instructive, entertaining readings generate numerous profound insights, reminding us that literature still has the potential to transform prevailing attitudes ... this is a really good book. * Modern Language Review *
This readers' guide is written for university students, but is lively and lucid enough to please the layman ... The anaylses are sharp and remarkably free of pomp ... All the quotes are translated, but it still makes you want to curl up with a bilingual dictionary and read some good novels in French. * Scott Steedman, Paris Voice *
