Pre-ordered Thierry Marignac’s Milieu Hostile today. It’s a follow-up of sorts to Renegade Boxing Club, his 2009 novel. I encourage you to read his books, regardless of your French language ability.
I also recommend visiting his website Antifixion on a regular basis.
Readers can sample M. Marignac’s English language writing at his eXile page.

The way to test a great work of art is to ask how it survives decontextualisation, transposition into a new context. One good definition of a classic is that it functions like the eyes of God in an Orthodox icon: no matter where you stand in the room, they seem to be looking at you. For instance, by far the best cinema version of a Dostoevsky novel is Akira Kurosawa’s The Idiot, which is set in Japan after the Second World War with Myshkin played as a returning soldier. The point is not simply that we are dealing with an eternal conflict that appears in all societies but that, with each new context, a classic work of art seems to address the very specific qualities of that epoch.
The quoted paragraph is from Slavoj Zizek’s review of Ralph Fiennes’s Corolianus in the New Statesman.
