It is full of stylish dandies, catholic dissidents, femmes fatales and brooding swordsmen: I think this literature "vieille France" could appeal to a Laguna Beach Fogey

I would not dare to suggest a book in THIS blog if I wasn't sure that they could be appreciated by the true connoisseur...

Anonymous said...: Barbey and Vigny! You are a Fogey of taste. I discovered Evelyn Waugh thanks to your blog: Brideshead Revisited was my first "Waughesque" experience, and I must admit that there is no such novel like this one in our literature, as far as I know.
Maybe you should try Drieu La Rochelle (and more specifically his novel Gilles): if you are into Jünger and Barbey (and as far as I can judge by the stuff that you post), you may have peculiar affinities with this powerful writer.
Salutations distinguées,
