Precisely! I would add Houellebecq as well at least The Possibility of an Island to the mix as well and Kundera’s The Unbearable Lightness of Being.

Kundera might actually be Czechian actually but of a similar vein

Kundera isn’t French but he’s a great writer. Unbearable Lightness and The Book of Laughter and Forgetting are both great. Houellebecq is a good writer who has negative values and is just racist

You’re not wrong! Houellebecq def puts his own biases into his characters but at least acknowledges them as flaws.

Being and Time by martin heidegger is chefs kiss an awesome read, and I recommend it highly to any curious of existentialism. This other book is a bit of a religious read, but Detachament and the Soul by Meister has a pretty interesting perspective.
