Haven't read it, but thanks for mentioning it. I'll read the original
French version. It's on my list now.
Holy shit ! You speak Francais? Wonders never cease.
With a name like arnab i though you would be a makin shine and
speakin hillbilly tok.
Channelling Homer Simpson there?
What was it about Carey's inquiry that prompted you to add the book to
your list? He wasn't recommending it -- just asking about it.
I looked it up and apparently it's an important work in 20th century
french literature. And I am currently in a mode of reading French
books, rather haphazardly though. So Carey's mentioning of the book
matches up with my current reading interests. That's all.
Though I do not read French, here are a couple of the books I'd want
to read in the original if I could --
Georges Arnaud - The Wage of Fear
Pierre Schoendoerffer - The Paths of the Sea (the basis for the great
film Le Crabe-Tambour)
Oops, that's the Wages of Fear
French colonialism is of interest to me so I'll be looking for the
film Le Crabe Tambour- thanks.
