Comment Van Vogt and France. (Score 1) 85
Van Vogt is very popular here in France.
A lot of his books are still available and often reprinted by "J'ai lu" edition. The world of null-A and the players of null-A have been translated in french by the famous author Boris Vian.
Van Vogt has greatly influenced modern science-fiction and many authors, especially Philip K. Dick (who has also a huge popularity in france)
If you can read french, I recommend the recent essay from Joseph Altairac "Van Vogt, parcours d'une oeuvre", Encrage edition.
