Bestselling in ... France

       Slate.fr has an overview of Le palmarès des ventes de livres 2011 -- the bestselling authors in France of 2011 -- though they don't nicely chart exactly who sold how much of what when. Still, apparently the two biggest sellers are under review at the complete review -- Stéphane Hessel, with Time for Outrage ! and David Foenkinos, with Delicacy.
       (It'll probably be a while until all the numbers are published -- compare their far more comprehensive article from April and all the 2010 numbers -- including the astonishing fact that Stefan Zweig sold more copies (590,000 !) that Victor Hugo, Zola, and Balzac, among many others.)
       In L'Express Marianne Payot offers a few more numbers and rankings of specific titles, in La galette des rois du palmarès.
