I recently saw one novel by Daniel Pennac published in the UK
: La Fee Carabine ( I forgot the title in Englih!) So perhaps
there is a chance that it made its way to the US market? But,
on a second thought I doubt it, as Pennac in that series is
mixing Noir with humor, surrealism, social incorrectness...
and all in non-linear plots.
There are many more French authors besides Izzo who merit to
find their way to English translations. But they don't.
