I'm finishing Assaf Gavron's Ein schönes Attentat.
It's well conceived, yet I feel embarrassed by what his male characters say/think about their female counterparts.
I'll be reading Eugenides' The Marriage Plot and Jean-Luc Benoziglio's Cabinet portrait (an unemployed estranged man packs up 25 volumes of an encyclopedia in the building restrooms, and stays there to read).
Reading through halfeatencake's list : if you dig Dos Passos, move on to the USA trilogy. If you don't, move on to the USA trilogy.
And on a sidenote, I tried to read Fitzgerald's Tender Is the Night in English.
I bought a copy of a Penguin edition and it was reorganized! In its chronological order! How can anyone do that to this book?
The niche thing exists in France too.
