Read with French student F.
I hadn’t opened a literary criticism book for a while, and I had seen good things about Rouvrir le roman (not sure where), so I decided to read it with one of my French students who has read vastly and even attends some classes on literature.
The following is mostly thoughts that struck me in the book, and that I’m recording here for memory (mine!) sake.
Sorry if you cannot read French. The book has not been translated into English, I doubt it will ever be, and I don’t have time to translate the excerpts I’m pasting here.
The text in English is mine, all the text in French are quotations from the book.
