It is nice to know that someone else is a Gombrowicz fan. I discovered him years ago when I first read Cosmos/Pornographia. I love absurdity in literature, which Gombrowicz is a master of, as well as dystopian themes and existential struggles. I found Paul Auster to share some similarities to Gombrowicz work. Can you think of other authors you care for that share Gombrowicz's style? Thanks for adding me to your list of interesting libraries.
Take Care,

Thanks for the suggestions. Drama, with some obvious exceptions, is to an embarrassing extent uncharted territory for me. I've read neither the Camus or the Sartre, but now look forward to both.
Existentially yours,

I'm flattered that you found my library interesting. Sorry not to write in French, but I don't really know the language, and I'm too tired now to try to piece together a message from stray bits of grammar and syntax.
What's one French novel which not everyone knows about but discerning readers should read?
Liberté, Egalité, Ennui,
David
