convince your fellow anons to read a book you doubt we have read. what are it's strong points? do you have a fovorite passage?
Aurelien by Louis Aragon is LE GOOD.It's about the duality between idealization and reality when it comes to love. And how that intoxication only grows when one is away from the person he loves. Novel opens up with>La première fois qu'Aurélien vit Bérénice, il la trouva franchement laideBut sure enough he ends up thinking she's greatest thing since sliced bread.It's probably the most realistic and relatable depiction of love I ever read. I think a lot of people here will open their mouth, point, and scream "literary me!"You can't claim X is the greatest novel of the 20th century if you haven't read Aurelien.Might just read it again now.
