ABC Wednesday.... G is for Gauthiez-Rieucau and Gdalia

Another homage paid to some of the authors of ADA (Autour des Auteurs)... Janine Gdalia
and Dominique Gauthiez-Rieucau are talented (and very creative) writers
(who would certainly not mind seeing their works translated into English).
I have participated in Dominique's writing workshop for several years.

I would have liked to post photos of other members of ADA whose names begin
with G but I can't find any pics of them)..... André Gardies,
Geneviève Gavignaud-Fontaine, Gildas Girodeau, Jean-François Gomez, Jep Gouzy).

If you want to know more about them, please visit their pages on the website
of ADA.

Un petit hommage rendu à quelques auteurs
d'Ada dont les noms commencent par G. Personnellement je pense que
ces écrivains et écrivaines ont souvent plus de talent que les auteurs
"dont on parle", les auteurs prolifiques qui pondent des romans à la chaîne.
Mais bon, le monde est ainsi fait qu'on aime le bling bling mieux que la qualité.

ABC Wednesday.

Médiathèque Emile Zola

I have already posted about our magnificent médiathèque Emile Zola (public library). I guess you all know who Emile Zola was (J'accuse!). A lot of famous writers are invited to present their works at the médiathèque every year. Recently I have had the opportunity to listen to, and talk to Nancy Huston, the famous writer of Canadian extraction. Nancy Huston is a very beautiful and intelligent woman and I like the way she writes. She was introduced by Janine Gdalia, a writer from Montpellier (a very warm, generous woman and a good writer).
