France's literary books output down
France's literary output will be down in every sense this year, with fewer titles published and grim subject matter prevailing, reports the Guardian.
Avid readers across France are gearing up for "la rentrée littéraire", the deluge of new novels that hits the country every August in anticipation of France's autumn swarm of literary prizes. French books magazine Livre Hebdos describes this year's line up of 676 novels - down 7% from last year's 727 - as "provocative and dark".
