Book festival of Paris 2022

On Friday, I went to the Book Festival by train. This event allowed me to discover new authors who came especially from India. I acquire knowledge about myths influences. I attended two conferences, one of them was on Indian literature and the other on the emergence of children’s books.
Then, during a literary café organized by various organizations, I learned about the evolution of the market through a survey of formats (print, digital and audio). Then, I made contact with a few publishing houses, bought 2 books as well as the quarterly magazine Alibi (thriller). A busy professional day.

Spies…

Last weekend I went to an exhibit and documentary movie about spies. What could be more exciting for an author than to go on search of disturbing historical facts?

The exhibition featured photographs of unusual objects that had belonged to secret agents and it was fascinating. Some of them were known from the people, others not. Not to be famous was certainly one of their quality at that time to preserve them.

The end of the exhibition ended with a set of 8 portraits of famous and incredible female spies.

The documentary film was titled “The Spies Who Came From Hollywood”. He recounted the important role played by a large number of artists during the Second World War.
