Mystic Realism French Style

Definitely worth reading. I've been haunted by it. It's an interesting slant on European attitudes to war, and becomes especially harrowing toward the end during WWII. Filled with lyric passages and unbelievable events. Mystic realism that reminds one of Garcia Marquez, but not quite up to the master's level.
