I've started reading Marie N'Diaye's latest book Mon coeur à l'étroit (My confined heart). I had never read any of her books before and I find her writing highly enjoyable.
She also writes for the stage and her dialogues are brilliant. The rhythm is excellent and the topic more than interesting :
A couple of teachers suddenly feel that everybody in their town hates them. They don't see the reason to it but fear asking and start feeling guilty. The husband gets stabbed. He doesn't complain. His daughters prevent him from going to the hospital, saying that it would be worse for him...
I suppose some of her other works have been translated to English, if some of you fancy reading foreign litterature. She's really good and still alive.
