I did not read the 20 short stories by French writers in
REQUIEM POUR UN MUCKRAKER. Reputation is of very mixed
quality. But some very good French writers were
participating. It was published by Editions Baleine in
1999.
Authors of the short stories : Georges-Jean Arnaud, Alain
Bellet, Didier Daeninckx, Robert Deleuse, G鲡rd Delteil,
Emmanuel Errer, David Fr飨et, Roger Martin, Claude Mespl褥,
Pierre-Alain Mespl褥, Jacques Mondoloni, Jean-Hugues Oppel,
Brice Pelman, Maurice P鲩sset, Jean-Bernard Pouy, Jean-Jacques
Reboux, Jean-Paul Schweig, Tito Topin, Marc Villard, Claude
Wharton.
There was also a story by Albert himself and a postface by
Patrick Raynal (presently director of
"Serie Noire" where most of Albert's novels were published in
French since 1966- long before Raynal's era)
Hope this helps.
