I've only put titles translated in English here, this actually doesn't reflect the French SF scene very well.
French SF has a good reputation (so far, I'd say it's an honest one) so I find it quite pluzzing that so very few works had been translated in English (I had to look at the SFF Translations Awards to have enough different names on this poll. I couldn't find 9 names of authors translated in English). We had French SF writers after Jules Verne...
I mean.... Damasio, Bordage, Wul, Merle, Dufour, Klein, Curval ? (And all the others I didn't think of)
We even have a 'young' generation with Gaborit, Lucazeau, Colin, Clavel, Genefort and Calvo (I love her works).
