“The New York literary agent Andrew Wylie, who represents such highbrow but also high-selling authors as Philip Roth and Salman Rushdie, announced in Le Monde that he has signed three French writers: two novelists, Christine Angot and Philippe Djian, and a journalist, Florence Hartmann. While Mr. Wylie’s signing a new client would be no big news here, in France, he has done the equivalent of throwing a hand grenade into the traditional world of French publishing.”
