After my last post, I wanted to write about a few of my all-time favorite authors. And I have come to a strange conclusion. I've read many English or French translations of European and Asian authors. When looking for English links about the authors I wanted to write about first (Nina Berberova & Hubert Mingarelli), I found it quite difficult to find English language websites ! And the list of their books translated to English is either non existant or smaller than the list translated to French. Very strange. Is it just bad research on my part ? Or are these writers actually translated more often to French than to English ? If so, why is that ? I'll dig some more.
I recommend ;
Le Roseau Révolté, Nina Berberova (link to English language Wikipedia)
Quatre Soldats, Hubert Mingarelli (link to French language Wikipedia)
Those are the first book of each author that I stumbled on. I immediately researched their work and then read everything I could get my hands on. That's what I'm planning to do about Thomas Wharton... I have the list of his books in my wallet now...
