by Yuan Xiaoyi
About This Novel
What kind of writers are French modern classics? What defines a modern classic? Sartre, Beauvoir, Camus, Duras, Roland Barthes, Sagan, Robbe-Grillet, Le Clézio, and Milan Kundera, this group of writers born in the 20th century, inherited the French novel tradition in a breakthrough way, and also used their own way to perfectly interpret the modern French novel tradition established by Flaubert, Proust, and Gide. They opened an important era in the history of French literature and even in the history of thought, the so-called era of Sartre. It was in this era that words showed their final dazzling power, continuing a French literary myth that pitted sensuality against the sense of death. They established a modern written legend.
