The French are already looking ahead to the first big flood of books in 2014: the fall rentrée littéraire is usually the period when the biggest titles come out, but the winter rentrée is also pretty significant, and in Le Figaro Mohammed Aissaoui looks ahead to Rentrée littéraire 2014: le grand bond en avant.
Between 2 January and 27 February 547 works of fiction are coming out -- 352 French titles, and 195 translations.
Aissaoui only introduces twenty-five of the titles, but some certainly sound of interest -- Paul Fournel offering "quinze nouvelles érotiques", a new Éric Chevillard. And there are some crowd-pleasers in the bunch, too: new works by David Foenkinos and Katherine Pancol, for example.
