 George Slusser- French Science Fiction: The Occluded Genre
As such, it merely shadows the central process of French literary culture at this time, which was to develop (in revolt against the old "realist" hegemony Robbe-Grillet imputed to Balzac) new forms of otherwise recognizable fantastic or surrealist narrative.
Indeed, the reason a specifically French sf cannot emerge is because it was there all along, the shadowy twin of the dominant forms of French literary culture.
Certainly, French sf seems unique in the degree to which it has not diverged from the French literary "mainstream," but rather has evolved as an analogue to the symbolist, surrealist, or even "new" novel or narrative.

 Psychosis in the French soul (George Walden reviews The American Enemy by Philippe Roger)

During the German occupation, when French anti-Semitic collaborators had no reason to disguise the real roots of their hatred, it had seemed that a ne plus ultra of crazed invective had been reached: it was then that America's addiction to jazz was explained by "the Negro character inherent in the Jewish race".
The only thing that might mitigate the pain is if French artistic and intellectual life - her cinema, literature, architecture, science and universities - were to undergo a miraculous efflorescence, and America's were to wither, but for the moment things are tending in the opposite direction.
