And what do English letters (as opposed to French letters) have by way of winsome anterior consonants? Byatt. Winterson. Ishiguro doesn't even end in a consonant. Pah.
You can't judge a book by it's author, or an author by their name, or a name by it's cover. Something like that...... Otherwise the Catalans would have the game sewn up.
Someone recommended Houellebecq to me and I read a couple of his novels and didn't enjoy them that much. A bit too male, cynical, middleaged perspedctive, didn't relate. I think I read "Whatever" and "Atomised". I've gone off the name.

Thierry, Sylvie, Etienne, Pascal, Thibaudet...
Oh, I know, they all sound like delicious pastries.

The Catalans do have the game sewn up, Beth's Dad! Few people know this, but Dan Brown hales from a small village in the Pyrenees.

Give me a Byatt any time.
Did he really write a book called Whatever? Quelle folie! Incroyable.
