…or rats du bibliotheque as the French call us! If you are impatiently waiting to listen to Nobel prize-winner Orhan Pamuk at the Fete du Livre (https://aixcentric.com/2018/09/01/aix-fete-du-livre-and-journees-du-patrimoine/), you may be interested to know that there is a free talk, on his rapport with his home city of Istanbul, at 18:30 on 19th September, at the Cité du Livres in Aix. In French. Thanks to Caroline for this info.
September sees the rentrée for the Book-in-Bar bookgroup who will be discussing ‘The Keeper of Lost Things’ by Ruth Hogan: this is her first novel and has been warmly welcomed for its touching and funny narrative. At Book-in-Bar, rue Joseph Cabassol, Aix, 27th September, 17:30.
And finally, the new James Bond novel is out – and it’s set in Marseille! Bond has to contend with, ‘a tremendously corpulent Corsican drug-dealer named Scipio. “I have total control here in Marseille,” he announces villainously. “The port, the city, the police, the justice system? It is all mine!”’. (See Guardian review: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/may/23/forever-and-a-day-anthony-horowitz-review). ‘Forever and a Day’ is by Anthony Horowitz, currently just in hardback.
