Such a unique combination of genre and intent isn’t common, so perhaps the best recommendation is to follow up some of the understandings of modern France here with a read of [[The Secret Life of France by Lucy Wadham]], both a personal account of some Parisian experiences but also in the later sections of the book a sharp analysis of aspects of French society, in the same vein as Houellebecq’s sideways take on terroir. In similar satirical and philosophical style are the later works of [[:Category:J G Ballard|J G Ballard]].
