@bookaround.bsky.socialHmm. Depends on how you describe dictatorship. Chateaubriand also lived during Louis XVI's reign, the First Empire and the Restauration. None of them were democracies. And why these writers? I'm not sure Giono minded Vichy as much as Paul Eluard. Or Flaubert vs Hugo for the Second Empire..
@billlegend.bsky.socialReposted by @bookaround.bsky.socialI'm coming late to de Beauvoir. I can see now I should have read her 50+ years ago when I was reading Sartre.

@bookaround.bsky.socialAre you trying to read all Romain Gary's books? You've read a lot of them. Kuddos for finding them in English.
@grantrintoul.bsky.socialReposted by @bookaround.bsky.socialRomain Gary's third novel takes a cynical view of post-war France (and manhood) through the eyes of an orphan who becomes embroiled in petty crime.
@bookaround.bsky.socialWelcome to the Festival America ! Have a safe trip!
