The Best French Short Stories, recommended by Patrick McGuinness

The French short story tradition is varied and innovative. Patrick McGuinness, editor of the Penguin collections, introduces five of the best, all of which “understand that the short story can be anything it wants, but it does actually have to be short.” Ranging in content from the fantastic to the achingly banal, these gems of the genre will leave you pondering them for much longer than they took to read.
