The new edition of the twice-a-year publication Fiction France (warning ! dreaded pdf format !) is out -- "A selection of French contemporary fiction to be read and translated".
With book information and sample translations of a couple of pages for twenty titles, it makes for a nice survey of a slice of the recent crop of French fiction.
A few other national book offices do similar things; I'd certainly love to see it be more common (and, generally, better publicized).
